Released via Temporary Residence Limited on Sep 4, 2012.

Dream Odyssey

The Last Dawn is the first of these two companion albums, and is the "lighter" of the two, thematically and melodically. It contains undoubtedly some of MONO's strongest songs ever, drawing on an array of influences from minimalist film score to vintage shoegaze. It is MONO at their absolute purest, executing an uncanny, unspoken dialogue with each other without the dozens of stringed instruments that have been so prominent throughout their catalog. The songs are also noticeably more efficient – there hasn't been a MONO full-length record to fit on a single slab of vinyl since 2003's One Step More And You Die – and the album benefits immeasurably from this streamlined approach. MONO have always been masters of telling compelling stories without words. But now they've proven they can do it without frills, too.

Memento

April Rain - Deadman On Vacation

“Between Darkness And Light” is the debut album by Roda de Ter, Catalonia heavy instrumental rock/post-rock band, BLAK. 
Mixed and mastered by Randy Cordner at Beast Mansion, “Between Darkness And Light” reveals BLAK as a band blessed with an extraordinary ability to create powerfully evocative and stunningly beautiful classical-influenced compositions with haunting atmospherics and an expansive, cinematic sound. 

You are in a forest gazing up at the thick whistling and chirping canopy, watching as the sun appears from behind the clouds. You slow your breathing down. You pay attention to the air passing in and out of your lungs and you close your eyes. Everything goes black yet everything comes alive. Your senses are heightened. You listen acutely to every sound close, far, loud and quiet. You smell deeply and differentiate between all the subtle odours. You feel intoxicated by the oxygen-heavy exhalations of the trees as the whispering wind scatters spice-scented decaying leaves like confetti on the path in front of you. You feel the sun’s rays beaming down on you. Your mind feels calm and transparent as the sun’s light enters right through you. There is an explosion of colour and light behind your closed eyes. You are illuminated. 

Sometimes you need to hold on to one sense to really start feeling with the others. Attention amplifies sensation. The situation does not change yet how we perceive and experience it does. You need to rise above the noise to take in a view and notice the smallest of details. You need to attentively listen to music or soft spoken words to allow them to reach an emotional level, sparkle the heart and drive your imagination. 
Only then do they rekindle possibilities. Only then do they fuel your dreams.

Between darkness and light

Black drips in the sky – Overwhelming

bela tarr, for publicity of his film only


the turin horse, day five

Matt Elliott ‎– The Broken Man - 
If Anyone Tells Me "It's Better To Have Loved And Lost Than To Never Have Loved At All" I Will Stab Them In The Face.

Lyrics...
Remember then, back when we almost died there
What joy just to survive
We promised then never to waste a moment again
But the euphoria soon passed
Now the same half empty glass
And breaking hearts ad infinitum.

--- LYRICS ---

And that day I saw the world
Burning in the past, smoking in the future
In my dreams there were liars
Giving us the pills and building all our graves

But today, we re awake
Time to tell the truth, and turn laws into dust
Raise your voice, please don’t be scared
Cause you’re already dead, you’re already dead

BIOGRAPHY
BLAK are a heavy instrumental rock band from Roda De Ter, Catalonia blessed with an extraordinary ability to create stunningly beautiful, classical-influenced compositions with an expansive, cinematic sound. The band consisting of Eloi Casellas, Eloi Roca and Carles PD came together in 2015 when they united to record a track that inspired the soundtrack to the Miquel Casals‘ short film “Vostok”. This one-off union revealed something truly magical that inspired the trio to keep writing. On 29 February 2016 BLAK officially signed to Elusive Sound and started working on their first album.
