HANDS veteran MONO NO AWARE returns for his 11th label release – “Koritsu”, Japanese for solitude, and as American poet Jane Hirshfield put it: Solitude, whether endured or embraced, is a necessary gateway to original thought. MONO NO AWARE is about rhythm’n’noise and nothing but, and in his 23rd year (sic!) on the HANDS roster Leif Künzel is set to prove the current topicality of the style. An authoritative sweep, a good hour of exhilarating sonic assaults yielding a good number of tracks for the most underground of dance floors as well as competing for head-nodding sessions at home or with your earphones.
Let’s do the math first: 13 tracks plus one remix by label mate S.K.E.T., that’s some value to start with, especially considering his accelerating creativity of recent years which have seen his art embracing a much wider range of expression while remaining absolutely true to his core expertise. Find classic upfront and massive Mono No Aware bangers like “Noesis” or “And what is Honne in 21” next to more minimal tracks like “Surudoi” or “Faces” that combine the noise with a distorted electro groove; indulge in the sinister tapestry of “Was nicht ist” or “Again a nice try” and get smashed with the freeform chaos of “wARNING!”. And while Mono No Aware has definitely carved a niche of its own, it’s no shame to consider a track like “Lowness 1st Cut” as a tribute to the repetitive grandeur of pioneers like Esplendor Geometrico.
Embrace solitude, tune in to the rhythm and the noise!
