MONO, Snowdrop (Temporary Residence, 2026).

Eight pieces, each named for a flower you would lay on a grave and subtitled with what the flower means: hope, loyal love, remembrance, an unchanging heart, I will never forget you, eternal gratitude, I miss you.

The band say it was written for the people they have lost and for anyone sitting with that, and the record plays like it, strings and choir from Chicago wrapped around Taka's guitar rather than piled on top of it. Brad Wood recorded it at Electrical Audio last September, Bob Weston mastered it in Portugal, which is about as good a chain as post-rock gets. Gatefold with Ahmed Emad Eldin's garden-in-the-clouds painting across the inside, red marbled double vinyl inside that. It is the sort of record you put on once alone before you play it for anyone else.

MONO《Snowdrop》(Temporary Residence, 2026)。八首曲子，每一首都以一種會放在墓前的花命名，副標是花語：希望、忠誠的愛、追憶、不變的心、我永遠不會忘記你、永恆的感謝、我想你。樂團說這張是寫給已經離開的人，也寫給還在悼念的人，聽起來確實如此，芝加哥的弦樂和合唱團是包著 Taka 的吉他，不是壓在上面。Brad Wood 去年九月在 Electrical Audio 錄音，Bob Weston 在葡萄牙母帶，後搖能找到的最好的一條鏈。對開封套內頁是 Ahmed Emad Eldin 的雲中花園，裡面是紅色大理石紋雙黑膠。這種唱片要先一個人聽過一次，再放給別人聽。Side A，〈Snowdrop〉，「Hope」。

So much post ‘85 vinyl. What has gotten into me? Hot deals and fate, I tell you. Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (2012 RI, Human Highway) by @monoofjapan is beautiful. I know describing Mono as merely a post rock band, even one of the greats, is reductive. They orchestrate. I will say this album name is the most post rock title ever (love it). Eat Pray Thug (2015, Megaforce/ Greenhead) by Heems @nehrujackets sends me back home to New York. In the mid-late aughts, at the height of independent music blogs, I wrote reviews. Like everyone else, I was sent Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell by indie rap trio Das Racist, which regardless of your thoughts on the track, it really captured the zeitgeist in NYC at the time. I blasted it in my Bushwick art studio apartment. Fast forward, I was recently crate digging the new arrivals at @used_kids_records in Columbus, Ohio and I spied a copy of this album. Fated. Side note: super smart record. Lucifer (2012, Mexican Summer) by @peakinglights is such a wonderfully weird album of psychedelic synth dub tracks. I took a chance on it because the cover reminded me of a cross between a La Düsseldorf and a Cluster album (do you know which ones?). It’s not sonically in that vein, but rad nonetheless. Neptune (2016, Domino) by @higherauthorities is also so weird and fun with synthesis and vocal layers, electric piano and a drum machine. This is ideal. This record def has some Nue!/Velvet adjacency.

必須紀錄一下為了看MONO必須經歷兩個颱風是多麼幸運的事😂
7/11的MONO Snowdrop Asia tour 2026-Taipei因為巴威颱風影響改期到10/30

8/21看完Envy專場好過癮但又覺得不夠還要～
突然心一橫決定去東京參加THE ARGUMENT
一場音樂節可以看到MONO、ENVY、TOE、還有we lost the sea…沒理由不衝啊🔥
結果現在又來了個薔琵颱風…..

現在真的只能把無敵PICK御守拿出來祈禱能夠順利飛出去🙏如果沒參加到這個音樂節我真的會😭
還有真的好想要海報啊啊啊～
