Mono announce new album, OATH

Mono have announced a new album. On June 14, the Japan-based post-rock group will release their twelfth record, OATH, via Temporary Residence/Pelagic. The album was recorded and mixed with longtime collaborator Steve Albini, and today they’ve shared a teaser for the album, which you can check out below.

The group’s Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto said in a statement: “We live with a vow that hasn’t changed since we were children. Hear the wind sing. We are part of the universe. We already know what we should do and what the most important thing in life is.”
