On Hymn To The Immortal Wind Mono inexplicably come away with the strongest record of their career. Recorded with a 28-piece orchestra and produced by Steve Albini, Hymn is an orchestral masterpiece, complete with aching string climaxes and flourishes that transcend guitar rock and approach the elite realm of modern “classical.” The record opens amidst a wave of fuzz and ostinato bells before Mono unveils a slew of gorgeous motifs punctuated by deep string instruments, and Hymn doesn’t let up once for a solid hour. 

The bombast with which Mono stamps a flourish onto Hymn is perhaps the lone time they let their pension for grandeur get the best of them, but after such a stunning record, the indulgence is more than well-deserved, it’s welcome. As the gut-wrenching effect from the powerful hour fades away, it’s hard to imagine a more satisfying entry from the genre to be released this year. If thus album does anything, it establishes Mono’s place among post rock’s top dogs, easily giving them the title.
