MONO Talks Making 'OATH' with Steve Albini by KEXP

Since 1999, MONO has been a four-piece Japanese post-rock band known for cinematic orchestral arrangements layered with gazing guitars. They’re releasing their twelfth studio album OATH on June 14 via Temporary Residence Limited.
They recorded this album with Steve Albini, the engineer known for capturing the raw sound of bands like The Pixies, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, and so many others. He died of a heart attack on May 7.
As part of our month-long celebration of Asian and Pasifika stories and Pushing Boundaries, KEXP’s Roddy Nikpour spoke with Taka Goto (guitarist and composer) and Dahm Majuri Cipolla (drummer) about the themes on OATH and their relationship with the late Steve Albini.
