Guest tht tne Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 i think i might want to delve into this band's catalogue, any fans here and if so could you describe their sound as precisely as possible?

Guest Greg Reason Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 As precisely as possible? Fucking excellent. Seriously, just see them whenever the chance avails itself. Buy their shit.

J3FF3R00 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I saw them open for High on Fire a few years back. Good live band. I remember them being similar to Mogwai. Instrumental, dynamic, ambient, cinematic, droney, melodic. Quite good.

jhonny Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Their new stuff isn't great IMO, check out the first two albums. It's quite samey really, but live they're excellent.

vamos scorcho Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 i'm not trying to fuck up this thread, but i've generally found most all post rock very, very easy to forget about there are definite exceptions but mono hasn't proven to be one of them.

Dan C Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 The only Mono album I could sit through was You Are There but to echo the sentiment in this thread they are good live.

vamos scorcho Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 yeah i was gonna say, tortoise are one of the few that i really like. i've always kind of disliked explosions in the sky / a silver mt. zion i remember getting high and listening to do make say think a few times. they were good.

Guest Greg Reason Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Pity the fool who thinks Mono are average Their last album was mad as all fuck; epic tracks with a full orchestra and recorded by Steve Albini! Pure fucking win! But all of their records are great. These guys lean a lot heavier towards classical music than any of their contemporaries (Explosions in the Sky, Pelican, Mogwai, etc) and they arrange their stuff beautifully. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8Juilrg6oQ&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89zzHCfZ_zs&feature=fvw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AloBKIA-c&feature=related Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/61026-mono/#findComment-1450009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
splesh Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I really dig some of their stuff, but Hymn to the Immortal Wind has some really cheesy moments.
