Nowhere Now Here

by MONO

supported by

Stephen Huerta MONO is one of those bands that I read so much about, and I’ve wanted to see them for years. We’ll finally, I got to see them at the Foro Independencia, April/2024, in Guadalajara, MX. What a show, first in line, grabbed a chair and sat smack dab in the middle of the stage, against the rail. The place was packed, and I was blown away. Went to Bandcamp and bought Nowhere Now Here, and told Perro, “you gotta hear this”, been sharing it with all my friends ever since. MONO, such an amazing band. Favorite track: After You Comes the Flood.

sergpot I remember staying jaw-dropping for a minute or two after listening to "Meet Us Where The Night Ends" in the first place... OMG..Reminds me of the best Sigur Ros, but way better. Unbelievable MONO

BD Unfortunately the first Mono concert I saw was them touring this album, I wish I'd seen them earlier and it was also the last concert I went to before COVID kicked everything. Listening to it brings back great vibes of an insanely intense and equally gratifying evening of Mono soundwaves thrashing the audience. Favorite track: After You Comes the Flood.

about

The conflict and correlation between dark and light is a universal theme with a historically rich history. Musically, perhaps no band in the 21st Century has mined that relationship more consistently or effectively than Japan’s MONO.

Across 10 albums in 20 years, MONO have convincingly reflected the quietest and most chaotic parts of life through their music. Their ever-expanding instrumental palette – which began in earnest in 1999 with the traditional guitar-bass-drums rock band setup – has evolved to include as many as 30 orchestral instruments. Now, on Nowhere Now Here, the band add electronics to their repertoire – perhaps inspired by guitarist/composer Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto’s recent collaboration with John McEntire, the beguiling Behind the Shadow Drops. Nowhere Now Here also sees MONO’s first-ever lineup change, adding new drummer Dahm Majuri Cipolla (The Phantom Family Halo) to the core trio of Goto, Tamaki, and Yoda. Tamaki also makes her vocal debut here, singing into the shadows of vintage Nico on the poetically hazy “Breathe.”

The unlikely career of MONO has taken them to virtually every corner of the planet, several times over. Those corners have all left indelible marks on their music, as it drills deeper towards the sound of feeling not quite human and all too human – often at the same time.

This may have surpassed "Hardcore Will Never Die..." as my favorite Mogwai album. The album alternates between lovely, spacious, moody tracks to bombastic, fuzzy, rocking guitars so perfectly. It helps the album flow so well. The 5+ minute songs on here only feel like 2 which makes me wanna replay them over and over. BobandoCommando
