The 13th album “Snowdrop” out Jun 12, 2026 on LP, CD and Digital.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We are pleased to announce today that on June 12, 2026, we will be releasing our 13th album, “Snowdrop”, via Temporary Residence Ltd. and New Noise. Coinciding with this, we are also happy to reveal the “Snowdrop” World Tour: Part 1, running from July 3, 2026 to April 27, 2027.

Without exception, everyone will eventually depart this world and face the parting from their loved ones. Through this album, we wished to express our “eternal gratitude” to those precious people who walked alongside us on the journey of life. We believe this sentiment is the only thing capable of filling the void left in our hearts and easing the profound sorrow and pain of loss.

Every flower carries its own unique language. For this album, we incorporated the messages imbued in flowers given to those who have passed into the titles of our songs.

Our hope is that this album serves as a source of light and hope for those who have lost someone dear.

Making “HEAVEN 05”.

Now in our 27th year as a band, we are still as grateful as ever to be able to create an album with our precious colleagues every year. Bands, like life, will one day disappear. However, I believe that this very transience—the fact that things are “not eternal”—is precisely what makes a band and life so beautiful. Passing through Tokyo, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Lisbon, we bring you a new “HEAVEN EP” again this Christmas.

バンドとして27年目を迎えた今も変わらず、毎年、大切な仲間たちと共にアルバムを制作できることに感謝しています。バンドも人生もいつかは消えゆくもの。しかし、その「永遠ではない」という儚さこそが、バンドと人生を美しいものにしているのだと思います。東京、シカゴ、ロサンゼルス、ニューヨーク、そしてリスボンを通じて今年もクリスマスに新しい”HEAVEN EP”をお届けします。

Many thanks to:

“Unforgettable EP”, which was previously sold as exclusive merchandise on MONO’s 25th Anniversary Tour in 2024, is now available digitally for the first time via Bandcamp.

This release became one of our last recording sessions with Steve Albini and, true to its name, became an EP filled with unforgettable memories—the good, the bad, the joy, and the sorrow. These songs were written with the hope that when we look back one day, we can see meaning in everything that happened, spreading our wings towards an unseen, endless sky.

2024年に行ったMONO結成25周年ツアーにて限定マーチ販売をした”Unforgettable EP”(デジタル)をBandcampで販売開始しました。

このアルバムはスティーブ・アルビニとの最後のレコーディング作品の一つであり、タイトル通り、忘れられない思い出の詰まったEPとなりました。良いことも、悪いことも、嬉しいことも、悲しいことも。いつの日か振り返った時に、すべての出来事に意味があったと思えるような、そしてまだ見ぬ無限の大空に向かって羽ばたくようなイメージで書いた曲たちです。

“Unforgettable EP”

01. Unforgettable
02. Day by Day
