8 artists sharing the name Mono

Mono’s Biography Ironically, there are eight artists sharing the name Mono;

Japanese: Mono are a post-rock group from Tokyo, Japan. The songs, all of which are instrumental, are usually focused on layered guitar melodies. Strings and pianos are also prominently featured in some songs. Mono are known for their powerful live shows and their complex guitar work. Their first EP, titled “Hey, you” appeared in September, 2000. So far, they have released four full albums: “Under The Pipal Tree”, “One Step More And You Die”, “Walking cloud and deep red sky, Flag fluttered and the sun shined” and “You Are There”. They also have several other records, including a remix album, a collaborative split record with Pelican, an album collaborating with World’s end girlfriend and another EP, titled “Memorie dal Futuro”.

British: Mono were a British pop duo which became a one-hit wonder in the late 1990s with their song “Life in Mono”. The group is considered electronica or more specifically “trip hop” and Mono’s music shares some similarities with other such acts including Sneaker Pimps and Portishead.
