comment
Mono (usually stylized as MONO) are a Japanese post-rock band. Their style of music consists mostly of long, instrumental pieces based around crescendos, rather similarly to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. While they started off as a more typical shoegaze band in the vein of Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, they began incorporating more orchestral and experimental elements into their sound as they went on. Their music has an idyllic, melancholy quality about it, using extensive, guitar based soundscapes to express both sadness and joy.Members: Takaakira "Taka" Goto - lead guitar, glockenspiels Hideki "Yoda" Suematsu - rhythm guitar, glockenspiels Tamaki Kunishi - guitar, bass, piano, glockenspiels Yasunori Takada - drums, synthesizers, glockenspielsAlbums: Under the Pipal Tree (2001) One More Step and You Die (2002) Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (2004) You are There (2006) Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain (2006, collaboration with World's End Girlfriend) Hymn to the Immortal Wind (2009) For My Parents (2012) The Last Dawn/Rays of Darkness (2014, double album) Requiem for Hell (2016)

Distinct Double Album: The Last Dawn has more of the band's usual symphonic post-rock sound, while Rays of Darkness is significantly heavier and incorporates more noise influence.

Cover Version: "Legend" is a very loose cover of "The Legend of Ashitaka" from the Princess Mononoke soundtrack. Yes, really.
