Mono
Hymn To The Immortal Wind
Mono returns with 'Hymn To The Immortal Wind.' The music is naturally majestic, with Mono's trademark wall of noise crashing against the largest chamber orchestra the band has ever enlisted. The instrumentation is vast, incorporating strings, flutes, organ, piano, glockenspiel and tympani into their standard face-melting set-up. While 'Hymn' continues to mine the cinematic drama inherent in all of Mono's music, the dynamic shifts now come more from dark-to-light instead of quiet-to-loud. The maturity to balance these elements so masterfully has become Mono's strongest virtue.
