MONO - Nowhere Now Here 2LP NEW Colored Vinyl

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 throughtheir music. Their ever-expanding instrumental palette - which began in earnest in 1999 with the traditional guitarbass-drums rock band setup - has evolved to include as many as 30 orchestral instruments. Now, on Nowhere NowHere, the band add electronics to their repertoire - partially inspired by guitarist/composer Takaakira 'Taka' Goto'srecent collaboration with John McEntire, the beguiling Behind the Shadow Drops. Nowhere Now Here also seesMONO's first-ever lineup change, adding new drummer Dahm Majuri Cipolla (The Phantom Family Halo) to the coretrio of Goto, Tamaki, and Yoda. Tamaki also makes her vocal debut here, singing into the shadows of vintage Nicoon the poetically hazy "Breathe."
