For My Parents is the new album by Mono, the Japanese quartet who over the course of half a dozen albums in twice as many years has followed their own muse, and in the process have become 'one of the most distinctive bands of the 21st century. ' They are an instrumental rock band whose melodies have grown increasingly lyrical, with increasingly transcendent execution. There is no doubting a Mono song when you hear it, and no denying their uncanny ability to feel perfectly at home in both pristine symphony halls and dirty rock clubs.
