Adopting the aural disdain of In Utero’s louder bits, the debut EP from Malaysian garage beasts DengDeng_ETC benefits greatly from its Chinese medium. Vocalist Hoong’s slacker drawl, when not in screaming mode, would arguably fall flat in any other language; and thinly-veiled sociopolitical contempt can be spewed forth with relative safety from governmental reprisal (if ‘Our Fucking Day Dream’ was sung in any other language, shit would indeed be hitting the fan). – Junk

Just in time for their 10-year anniversary, MONO return with their fifth studio album, the absolutely massive Hymn To The Immortal Wind. The music is naturally majestic, with MONO’s trademark wall of noise crashing beautifully against the largest chamber orchestra the band has ever enlisted.
The instrumentation is vast, incorporating strings, flutes, organ, piano, glockenspiel and tympani into their standard face-melting set-up. While Hymn continues to mine the cinematic drama inherent in all of MONO’s music, the dynamic shifts now come more from dark-to-light instead of quiet-to-loud. The maturity to balance these elements so masterfully has become MONO’s strongest virtue – save for perhaps their uncanny ability to sound every bit like a plane crashing into a Beethoven concert.

The songwriting is sharper, the dynamics are subtler, and the production is stunning. For the recording, the band once again enlisted The Wordless Music Orchestra for support, and the collaboration has never sounded stronger. The unique combination of soul-stirring melodies, cinematic East-meets-West arrangements, and firm command of elusive emotional intangibles is what makes MONO so…well, so MONO.
