Requiem for Hell
Temporary Residence
Nov 16, 2016
MONO
Post-rock bastions MONO have always succeeded in forming swells of long form, spirit-purging orchestra that confronts upheaval. Their return with the 5-song long Requiem for Hell doesn’t engage this canon with an evolved musical lexicon and its familiarity leaves you flat footed. Despite a reunion with producer Steve Albini, who helped to bring out the best of their past material, what was once stirring has become less interesting. (www.monoofjapan.com)
