2021 release from the Tokyo, Japan-based instrumental rock band. Mono's unique approach of blending orchestral arrangements and shoegaze guitar noise has been held in extremely high regard - NME classified it as "music for the Gods".
On its second album, the Asheville five-piece goes big and loud, scaling up its shoegaze-indebted sound while frontwoman Karly Hartzman buries an undercurrent of anxiety beneath the clutter.
Cult classic shoegaze album, Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time, by the now-defunct Fort Collins band Candy Claws, is being reissued for it's 10yr anniversary on Aug 4.
