Send to a FriendRejoice, collectors! Japanese post-rock pioneers MONO have amassed nearly all of their hard-to-find material on next month’s ambitious rarity collection, Gone. Out September 11th via Temporary Residence, the record tells the tale of MONO’s astounding eight-year journey, setting forth the band’s rare and out-of-print non-album tracks chronologically, from the modest opening notes of “Finlandia” to the scorched finale of “Little Boy (1945-Future).” Beautifully re-mastered from their original master tapes, each song is culled from a series of highly sought-after releases – the Japanese-only debut Hey, You. EP, the band’s split LP with Pelican, the Cameron Crowe-commissioned Memorie dal Futuro vinyl 10”, and The Phoenix Tree, MONO’s out-of-print EP for the storied Travels In Constants series.

Formed in 1999 by four Tokyo natives as an antithesis to the omnipresent Japanese pop scene, at first MONO wore their influences on their sleeves, colliding the ugly washes of noise pioneered by My Bloody Valentine with the beautiful, subtle guitar figures of Slint and Mogwai. Not groundbreaking, but certainly magical. Eventually, MONO developed into a whole different species: Their classical influences broke through, pushing the music to structural and emotional extremes that owed as much to Wagner and Beethoven as it did Black Sabbath and Neurosis.
This fall the band takes its cinematic rock to multiple continents, with shows in their native Japan, Australia, and then a massive fall tour throughout the states. Joining them for the US trek is Matt Pike and his trio of swampy doomriders High On Fire.
