Finally, finally, finally! After their brilliant 2004 release of Walking Cloud And Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered And The Sun Shined, the new Mono album will be released this March! The exact dates vary per medium (CD/LP) and location, but around that time you should be able to pick up a copy of You Are There.
Mono - You Are There
Tracklist:
01. The flames beyond the cold mountain
02. A heart has asked for the pleasure
03. Yearning
04. Are you there?
05. The remains of the day
06. Moonlight
Yearning was already released on the split EP with Pelican a while ago - and a great song it was, so I'm personally very much looking forward to this new album. The album was once again produced by Steve Albini and also seems to feature a variety of string instruments once more. The cover art looks brilliant as well, I must say (especially when compared to that of WCADRS, FFATSS) - and seems to be a variation on the cover of the split with Pelican (
cover and
regular version of the photo). Anyway, can't wait! Some more info:
