what's mono up to nowadays?

it's more of the same, really.

they just don't want to break out of the box - they want to follow this post-rock formula to their death, and they're happy to do it over and over and over....

even when i listened to a lot of the style, i would have found this subpar. but, they're one of a handful of acts that has just kept chugging by refusing to change, and building up an audience of people that actually don't want them to. if they could mix it up in any way at all, they might be able to hold my attention. they don't want to....they don't want to scare people off....

so, i'm not that impressed by this, but i really never was that impressed by them.

if you like far and further, be sure to check out yanqui uxo, though.
