Under The Pipal Tree (25Th Anniversary Edition) - Vinyle Vert

Description

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of their debut album, Under The Pipal Tree, MONO is offering an exclusive limited edition "Iridescent Forest Night" green vinyl. Under The Pipal Tree is the debut album from the now legendary Japanese experimental rock band, MONO. Released in 2001 on avant-garde icon John Zorn’s Tzadik label, this album revealed a young Japanese quartet whose varied influences (including Sonic Youth, Mogwai, The Velvet Underground, and Neil Young's Crazy Horse) were expressed with remarkable energy and ambition. While MONO later became known for their subtle blend of metal and classical music, Under The Pipal Tree highlights the band's psychedelic roots. Long hypnotic and melodic passages give way to incandescent guitar solos that evaporate into an enchanting silence. This album is remarkable not only for its sincere exploration but also for its striking execution. Twenty-five years and a dozen albums later, Under The Pipal Tree remains one of the best debut albums from an iconic underground band.
