Aphasia(sample)

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.

내 옷은 냄새가 없다(demo)

너의이름은. kimi no na wa.

찰나 (demo)

Always

my microphone is broken.


Slash and menace at a doppelgänger---
you can.
(She listens and absorbs)

Long ago and far away,
the original remained intact,
for you.
(Listen to her and absorb)

That is how it is, love.
Without hate, without pain,
the doppelgänger bathes its wounds.
(Cleansed by belief)

A ticket to the heart is a nonrefundable jewel,
and lies waiting for its chosen hand.
(Carbon dated by memories)

And you (The Doppelganger's Bath)
