Die Post-Rock Band MONO aus Japan veröffentlichte am 24.10.2014 mit The Last Dawn und Rays of Darkness gleich 2 neue Alben via Pelagical Records/Cargo.
Frontmann Taka kommentiert die Entscheidung 2 Alben an einem Tag zu veröffentlichen wie folgt:
“There were black and white sides inside of me, like darkness and hope. It could not fit on one album.”
The “light” side of this chapter in the MONO story is "The Last Dawn". The pared down tracks take inspiration from influences as diverse as minimalist film scores and vintage shoegaze. Noticeably more stripped back than their previous releases, the album clocks in at under forty minutes; the succinct offering proffers the hope, love and joy in a neatly wrapped package.
In direct contrast, "Rays of Darkness" is an altogether more ominous and brooding beast. Notable for the absence of MONO’s near-trademark orchestral instruments, this album leans heavily on the aggression of blistering riffs,
