Album Notes & Community Reviews

A collaboration between post-rock giants MONO and electronic artist World's End Girlfriend. The album is entirely instrumental, focusing on slow-building, string-heavy compositions that eschew traditional rock climaxes. It is a bleak, beautiful soundtrack for the end of the world.
