MONO & A.A. Williams - Exit in Darkness (2019) EN

The Japanese MONO doesn't need to be introduced at all, similarly the British A. A. Williams got well-known partly thanks to supporting Cult of Luna on their last year's tour. Their collaboration seemed to me a bit off but swiftly turned out to be very good. The effects were released on a short EP called Exit in Darkness.

Two tracks on the album consists of both sensual and at the same time melancholic vocals by Williams and quite peaceful version of the Japanese' music. The latter took me by surprise as the length of the tracks seemed to be perfect for the band to turn them into the noisy hell MONO is famous for. Not here though. At first I considered it a flaw but I came to conclusion that it quite fits the overall ballad-dark-folk atmosphere. Because the two tracks make basically an extremely dark pop/folk in the backgrounds of which you can hear the familiar Sounds of MONO - this a bit chaotic, untamed post-rock that here decided to show its more peaceful, moody side.
