~ Mono is a popular post-rock band from Tokyo, Japan. When first listening to Mono, you can tell right away they're from Asian descent. The Eastern strings and guitar style emanate instantly. The best post-rock bands carry distinct styles, and Mono does this successfully. They have the majestic and emotive nature of a Godspeed You Black Emperor, and the meandering transcending guitar work of a Mogwai. This proves to be a strong combination in You Are There, which may be their best work. This is the quintessential Mono album. If you're recommending someone to Mono introduce them to this album. This might be the most heavenly post-rock album ever, which is a nice change from the genre that is known to be pretty grim in nature.
