MONO have premiered a music video for the title track to their 12th studio album “Oath“. The Japanese instrumental post-rock band recorded that album with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Chevelle), who also mixed it. This footage for this video was filmed during those studio sessions.
Guitarist Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto commented:
“The album ‘Oath’ is about ‘time and life’. We wanted to express the ‘limited time in life’ and the ‘meaning of life’. Our time goes by day by day. What is my goal? What is my purpose? What is the reason I live every day? What can we do? What should we do? We wanted to learn what we were feeling about time and life, what we have lost and found, and the questions and the answers we discovered during both our good and difficult times. We live with a vow that hasn’t changed since we were children.”
A June 14th release through Temporary Residence Ltd./Pelagic Records/New Noise is in the cards for “Oath“. European/UK fans will be treated to a special 25th anniversary tour from the band, which will find them performing this new album in its entirety accompanied by a chamber ensemble.
