MONO

Maybe the best band working today:

Their record, One Step More and You Die has been played a lot 'round these parts as of late. I see "post-rock" used to describe them, but those sorts of classifications can get dull. I prefer to call their music beautiful. They're certainly the most exciting thing I have heard in some time. Mono is proof that art is not dead.
