Does Post Rock Exist? | Interviews with Yorkshire Bands
This is a series of interviews with Yorkshire bands exploring the local music scene and their ties with the divisive genre of post-rock. The title stems from the unwillingness of certain bands to accept the term, with some simply claiming it as journalist jargon.
Mono & Alcest @ The Brudenell Social Club | 13/11/2016
Mono played a surprisingly wide array of material from their 4 most recent albums dating back to 2009's Hymn To The Immortal Wind. Starting the set with my personal favourite 'Ashes in the Snow.' This song starts very quietly with a glockenspiel duet and usually when these kinds of sections are played at gigs in Leeds this is the time when the audience can forget they are listening to a band and begin a full-blown conversation about their last drunken night out...Strangely enough, this never happened whilst Mono were playing, the audience were truly captivated throughout which I was very grateful for.
