Mono

Matt DeMello (himself) Far from lackadaisical or categorically "chill", Shitao's Mono treasures space and knows exactly how to manage its presence in broad, lavish, but not necessarily bombastic rhythms.

Lionel Valdellon (Acid42) These are hip hop instrumentals that groove in place, mixing 808 drum machines with lo-fi electric piano, guttural bass, and the odd flute or organ, or synth melody. Calming. Minimalist. Favorite track: A path.

James Campbell I liked all of this. It took me a while to guess the exit sample of the first track, and then realised it was popol vuh and of course my wife thought I was going mad because I suddenly said "of course it's popol vuh!"
The while album is great to wind down to. Takes me back to a place when things were fun. Favorite track: Traces on the ground.

nofatclips What a groove! The catchiness of the sound lures you in and when the mystery unfolds it's too late to turn back! Favorite track: Gigantic ruins.

about

A few years ago...

A man makes an emergency landing on the planet Mono. When he wakes up, his spacecraft's controls no longer work. Strangely, all the windows broke out. The small square mirror that he had been using for months to shave is also broken. The rest of the ship seems perfectly intact. He puts in a suitcase everything he needs and goes to discover the planet.

Mono is a strange colorful planet. After he lands, it looks like he wasn’t the first to get to it.
