• MONOS - 'Above The Sky' CD

Monos is Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound, Current 93, Ora, Fovea Hex), Paul Bradley, and Darren Tate (Ora). Originating from a single concert, the recording was gradually embellished, enhanced, layered, and reworked until it finally became the first 30-minute piece here: 'A Place of Voices'. During this process, new material came together to form the album's closing piece, 'Cloudless Day'.

"A deeply unsettling and surreal new album... Above The Sky sounds like it has been sculpted and tweaked to razor-sharp perfection. Despite being the work of three people with three different aesthetics, there is no absolutely trace of ego, compromise, bloat, or wasted time here. This is as perfect as drone music gets... The sound slowly undulates and swells while spectral creaks, scrapes and squeals flit about the shadows... It flows quite beautifully, but it follows a very unpredictable course, as a cacophony of bowed metals can turn into a pleasant field recording of a flock of chirping birds within mere minutes... a shifting, quavering mass of subtly clashing notes and a harsh metallic shimmer. The volume swells and drops unpredictably, heightening the deep sense of unease, and various elements begin to change dramatically until it graduates from "uneasy" to "harrowing"... a brilliant and nightmarish masterpiece from start to finish" (Brainwashed).
