MONO - HEAVEN VOL.1 (BLACK VINYL 10" EP)
MONO have long drawn equal inspiration from the light and dark of life,
spawning more than two decades of musical turbulence and melodic
transcendence. Heaven Vol. 1 marks the beginning of a new annual tradition
from MONO: A new EP released on Christmas Day each year, leaning into the
light at precisely the time when we need it the most - surrounded by loved
ones and hopeful for what the turn of the calendar may bring us. Recorded by
Takaakira `Taka' Goto at his home studio in Japan (with drums recorded by
Amak Golden at Golden Hive Studio in Prague) - and mixed by Rafael Anton
Irisarri and Jeremy deVine at Black Knoll Studio in New York - Heaven Vol. 1
finds MONO at their most hopeful and cinematic. Of each of Heaven Vol. 1's
three tracks, MONO offers these words: Lucia: "This song was written when
our beloved longtime partner Jeremy (the owner of our American label
Temporary Residence Ltd.) welcomed his second child. The song is
constructed with two parts; the first part celebrates the birth of a new life and
the second part heads towards dreams and hope. We wrote this song with the
feeling of Santa Claus riding a sleigh through the snowstorm, smiling, jumping
into the swirl of pure white light and carrying many dreams." Smile: "We drew
upon the snowy scenery of Christmas that we experienced when we were
young. Your exhaled breath is white. Your heart is dancing in the endless
silvery white world, and when you are about to grab the snow with your hands
and turn around, your parents look back at you with a smile. We wrote this
song whilst remembering moments like this." Silent Embrace: "Time passed
and we became adults. Life is like climbing and descending many steep
mountains, but the reason we're still able to continue walking is because of
our loved ones, colleagues, friends and family who quietly stand by us and
giving us courage and strength. We wanted to express our gratitude with this
song."
