After appearing at ArcTanGent Festival earlier
this year, Tokyo born instrumental rock unit MONO are back for a full
fledge European tour starting November 18th, which will
take the band across the continent including UK shows in Brighton,
Leeds, Glasgow, and London.
Formed back in 1999, MONO have been at the
forefront of instrumental rock scene ever since, forever manipulating
and pushing the boundaries of the post-rock genre by twisting
orchestral sounds and mixing them with the psychedelic to create
vigorous melodies like no other.
MONO will drop their duel album releases 'The Last
Dawn' and 'Rays of Darkness' in the UK on October 27th.
Recorded simultaneously, but each conceptually and creatively
disparate, the two are expected to take the listener on an entirely
different trip, one being described as “MONO at their absolute
purest”, and the other as “a jet engine taking off inside a
small, crowded auditorium”.
The band's first UK show of the tour will see them
share a stage with the likes of post-punk revival act Savages, art
punk legends Wire, and many more at Brighton's Drill Festival on
December 5th, a festival made to showcase some of the best
groups and artists from around the globe that are breaking the
confines of the rock genre. 25+ bands have already been announced for
the festival which takes place from December 4th to 7th in venues across the city.
