MoNNo

upcoming double LP version of Cheval Ouvert on Le Petit Mignon/Staalplaat in 2015



"MONNO delivers one of their best release (...) They immediately trigger this possible soundtrack for human collapse(...) Noise art-rock seems to strive for gain proper physical features according to the declension that this impressive band excellently renders in spite of the quintessential abstract nature of this specific stylistical branch"
Chain DLK

"While their sound escapes easy definition, it is whithout a doubt a caustic blend of sludgy drone metal, free jazz-esque drumming and psychedelic electronics. (...) Cheval Ouvert
is an eclectic mix of sounds not normally present in heavy drone music. The sax and electronics really stands out and make this a memorable album"
Musique Machine

"Aus dieser kalkulierten Ueberreizung erzeugt das Quartett zugleich so etwas wie raue epische Schönheit"
TAZ, Berlin

"Un sens du camouflage, un goût pour l'esquive et le contre-pied qui atteignent probablement là une nouvelle épiphanie. Monno poursuit sa route singulière et abstraite(...)
Sa façade monochrome en apparence n'est qu'une immense mosaïque où se déclinent une multitude de nuances et de textures"
Des cendres à la Cave
