I absolutely adore this artist. Hope this is the year I get to see them.
Favorite track: Ely's Heartbeat.

Where these songs in the hands of a lesser band would peak a few minutes in, MONO's impressive talent for pushing simple melodic ideas to ever increasing emotional heights is an absolute joy to behold.
Favorite track: Death In Rebirth.

気の利いたことは言えないんだけど。
えげつない展開が好き。
自分にすごくフィットする時と、不快で途中で聴くのをやめる時がある。
自分の中のモヤモヤを、揺さぶってくれる。
BGMにはしたくないと思ってます。 Favorite track: Requiem For Hell.

about
MONO are a band driven by intangible conflicts. Their albums have found inspiration in the inescapable coexistence
of love and loss, faith and hopelessness, light and darkness. Fittingly, their new album, Requiem For Hell, incorporates all of those conflicts into the one universal inevitability in life: Birth, and death.
Requiem For Hell finds MONO returning to longtime friend and collaborator, Steve Albini. After MONO and Albini's band, Shellac, toured Japan together last year, they realized how much they missed the (often wordless) creative dialogue they shared during the making of many of their most memorable albums – beginning with Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky... (2004) and culminating with Hymn To Immortal Wind (2009). The rebirth of the Albini collaboration for Requiem For Hell also coincided with the birth of a close friend's first child, whose actual in utero heartbeat serves as the foundation for the aptly named "Ely's Heartbeat." For MONO, it all felt so right, so inevitable.
Requiem For Hell is undeniably heavier and scarier than most of MONO's output to this point – hear the dizzying 18- minute title track for example – but it also carries some of their most sublime moments. This dichotomy is how one band’s obsession with conflict has manifested itself into one of underground music's simultaneously quietest and loudest catalogs.

Very good stuff. Russian circles is a band that creates interesting music, a true musical trip. A lot of ambiances. All their albums are great. My favourites are "enter", "blood year", "empros" and "station". On this one Milano and quartered are fucking heavy. And it's what I need to hear!
