Formed in Tokyo (Japan) back in 1999, Mono are undoubtedly one of the most popular representatives of the post-rock genre. However, do not go expecting to hear anything remotely similar to the more "avant-garde" side of post-rock (GY!BE, A Silver Mt. Zion etc.) Mono's approach is considerably more melodic, and the compositions are structurally much simpler. This guitar-lead ensemble mostly relies on creating very emotionally charged compositions, occasionally using huge build-ups with their massive distorted guitar riffs ("wall of noise") in a similar way to their Scottish counterparts Mogwai. Their approach is hardly the most original one, but it does sound good, and I guess that's all that really matters, right? Recommended for fans of the genre.enjoy loipon! estw gia to onoma :p
