Just before recording their epic "disaster piece" YOU ARE THERE, Mono began collaborating with fellow Tokyo native and modern electronic composer World's End Girlfriend. The result is a five-part sojourn of neoclassical grace and luminescence that defies lazy categorization. A miniature panoramic view of the sea on an eerily still day, the current swaying at an impossibly lazy pace and the sound of a thousand tiny waves crashing all at once.
