Free Music Notes for Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain
Free Music Review: Stunning!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been listening to Mono for almost half a year now, and whenever I hear something new by them, I am awestruck and baffled by the beauty of it. Until recently I was convinced that Sigur Ros is the greatest band on the planet, with Mono trailing not very far behind. Now, after listening to this album, I am reminded of the better aspects of classical minimalism as encapsulated by Henryk Gorecki and Arvo Part; and, having been thoroughly swept away, I see this band creates music that surpasses both of those composers in elegance and grace, and that surpasses the beautifully melodious heights of Sigur Ros. I am stunned. This music is too much. It is too gorgeous. I want the world to spend an hour listening to it. Nothing could ever be the same afterwards.
Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain Poster
This collaboration with fellow Tokyo native and modern electronic composer World's End Girlfriend is a five-part sojourn of neoclassical grace and luminescence that defies lazy categorization. As dark as the bottom of the ocean and nearly as otherworldly, "Palmless" finds Mono inhabiting a magical world previously only hinted at in their most orchestral compositions. Forgoing their tendency to erupt into hellish bursts of speaker-destroying noise, Mono instead exhibits remarkable restraint, stretching song lengths past the 15-minute mark, turning barely-there crescendos into earth-shaking events. This record is 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.Alternative Rock Music CDs
