Antethic is really unique, I feel. I like how they get very heavy in some of the climaxes without being post-metal. Also, the new Astralia is wonderful; a big departure from Atlas. Much, much darker. Can't wait for my vinyl to arrive on that one. In other news, Silent Whale Becomes A Dream presumably has new material coming out on Elusive Sound at some point. That's probably a shoe-in for album of the year contention, whenever it gets dropped. I finally got a copy of Canopy, and it is incredible. I hope someday "Architeuthis" gets pressed as well.

-tess. Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hey friends. It's been a bit. I finally saw Mono last night and thought you all would appreciate. It was an amazing show in a tiny venue with a light quiet crowd. It was perfect. Sad Heart, chkadea, deafening and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're playing in Austin tomorrow night and I'm trying to duck away from family stuff for a few hours to see them. Edit : no family related plans tonight, so totally going to see them this evening!

Freki Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I've been a pretty casual listener of theirs but gonna catch them this Friday in Denver. Delving into their back catalog and watching the youtubes has got me pretty stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're rolling through here (Seattle) in the next month or two and I'm planning on seeing them again. Freki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an amazing show in a tiny venue with a light quiet crowd. It was perfect. I missed the NYC gig but I've been listening to them more and more and they're quickly becoming one of my favorite groups now. I never *disliked* them but the more I listen, the more it really hits me how special they are. Requiem For Hell was the first album of theirs that really got me, and made me really excited about their music. If I have any money left after Dunk, I will be trying like hell to get to the West Coast for a gig. It hurts to think that I'll miss my chance to see Requiem For Hell and Death in Rebirth. Speaking of, what albums would you say are your guys' favorite? I was always slightly off-put by their material because of the production; on many instances drums aren't close-mic'd and are mixed so they have a hazy, dusty vibe that I'm not usually a fan of (same with Red Sparowes "Every Red Heart" album). But man, the more I listen.... the more their music speaks powerfully to me. In other news - Dunk! Records is pressing a whole slew of stuff for the festival. We Lost The Sea - Crimea, The Quietest Place On Earth, and Depature Songs. Meniscus - Refractions and War of Currents. Lost In Kiev - Nuit Noire repress. Really excited for "Refractions" on vinyl, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man, the more I listen.... the more their music speaks powerfully to me. This is actually so bizarre because historically my only complaint with Mono was their super tinny-sounding drum cymbals. Ridiculously specific, I know. But the sheer amount of time in "You Are There" that the drummer spent maintaining a beat on that cringeworthy ride cymbal made it almost unlistenable. Just weird to me that someone else picked up on it because I would never have brought it up myself haha. My two favorites of theirs are "One More Step..." and "The Last Dawn." Technically-speaking "Hymn..." is probably their best but for whatever reason it's tough for me to listen through in full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cool, but the fans were the worst. Everyone was drunk and yelling at (talking to) each other the entire time. Strange. I've seen them five or six times and every show has been dead quiet. Sometimes crowds just suck, I guess. Also, had no idea Mono were in town in April. Really bummed about it. Where/how do you guys keep up with bands' tours? I'm find it a lot harder to do these days, even with all the social media around. Edited May 24, 2017 by rabbitvinyl adding to discussion?

I follow a lot of bands / labels on instragram, seems to do a decent job. Past that, I just keep a close eye on tour announcements on a few music news sites. bandsintown used to be ok, but I haven't had much luck with being useful lately. edit : venue emailing lists are real useful too Edited May 24, 2017 by jonrawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but I will ask the guys. They only had "Refractions" because War of Currents was delayed. They're having both shipped to Australia so even tho they're going to sell out the tour stock everything else will be available on bandcamp. (WLTS vinyl will also be sold out soon..... you should have seen how much merch those guys sold in the 6 hours they were there - absolutely unreal). Guys, you all need to go to Dunk. That was.... incredible. I can't even begin to describe what it was like to be with other people who love this music the way we do. It was like meeting all your best friends from around the world for the first time, but feeling like you've known them for years. Also, be prepared for a spectacular lineup in Burlington. Just wait until you hear who is coming. EDIT: Yes, A Thousand Arms will be getting Meniscus vinyl, but it will be a while. I'm not sure about WLTS. It's important to note that there are 2 different lines of the represses: Dunk has their colors, and the band has their colors. The band's can only be had on tour, but Dunk's colors will be in the shop. Edited May 30, 2017 by Gumbo72203 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
