The fifth studio album by Japanese post-rock band Mono, Hymn to the Immortal Wind is progressive rock at its finest. It amazes me when you look up the specifics of a record and you read that the producer was none other than the great Steve Albini. The sounds of this album remind me of a beating heart bleeding, pumping with blood until there is nothing left to pump. The variety of sound reminds me of Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky. A recommendation from Robbie that I do think was a great choice pretty much compliments the day with the way I feel. It's almost like describing my emotions right now in such a beautiful way. A soft, soothing sound with a hint of light guitar playing is such a comforting sound to me. Just listening to this has inspired me to type out what I'm feeling at this exact moment, so here it is:
As I flipped through photos of you, it reminded me of the words I expressed so sincerely to you. A verse I never fully expressed to anyone quite before, at least in a different form, you said it was so sweet. Not a rejection but a change of subject to help forget. The eerie piano playing is a tune of delight, but not a bad sounding eerie piano playing. To be a puzzle piece in your life, as we would fit together, forever would be so divine.
Enjoy!
