Recorded and mixed – cautiously, anxiously, yet optimistically – during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the summer of 2020, Pilgrimage of the Soul is aptly named as it not only represents the peaks and valleys where MONO are now as they enter their third decade, but also charts their long, steady journey to this time and place.\u003cbr\u003eContinuing the subtle but profound creative progression in the MONO canon that began with Nowhere Now Here (2019), Pilgrimage of the Soul is the most dynamic MONO album to date (and that’s saying a lot). But where MONO’s foundation was built on the well-established interplay of whisper quiet and devastatingly loud, Pilgrimage of the Soul crafts its magic with mesmerizing new electronic instrumentation and textures, and – perhaps most notably – faster tempos that are clearly influenced by disco and techno. It all galvanizes as the most unexpected MONO album to date – replete with surprises and as awash in splendor as anything this band has ever done.\u003cbr\u003eMONO began in Japan at the end of the 20th Century as a young band equally inspired by the pioneers of moody experimental rock (My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai) and iconic Classical composers (Beethoven, Morricone) who came before them. They have evolved into one of the most inspiring and influential experimental rock bands in their own right. It is only fitting that their evolution has come at the glacial, methodical pace that their patient music demands. MONO is a band who puts serious value in nuance, and offers signi ficant rewards for the wait.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53420862734679,"sku":"P-111882-","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Mono-Pilgrimage-Of-The-Soul-CD-DIGISLEEVE-111882-1-1626072795.jpg?v=1778090283"},{"product_id":"mono-scarlet-holliday-10-vinyl","title":"Mono - Scarlet Holliday - 10\" vinyl","description":"","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53422207697239,"sku":"P-118812-","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Mono-Scarlet-Holliday-10-vinyl-118812-1-1643877601.jpg?v=1778105580"},{"product_id":"mono-heaven-vol-1-10-vinyl","title":"Mono - Heaven Vol. 1 - 10\" vinyl","description":"","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53429987115351,"sku":"P-132365-","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Mono-Heaven-Vol.-1-10-vinyl-132365-1-1679925590.jpg?v=1778179059"},{"product_id":"mono-oath-double-lp-gatefold","title":"Mono - Oath - DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD","description":"\u003cp\u003eVeteran Japan-based instrumental rock band MONO return with ‘OATH’, their 12th full-length album of genre-defying contemporary classical orchestration and transcendental guitar soundscapes in a career that has spanned four decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“What are we doing here?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe year 2020 turned what was once quintessential late-night stoner existentialism into a daily mantra for nearly everyone on this planet.
