Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of Mono's

debut album, Under The Pipal Tree, the band release a

unique limited-edition Iridescent Forest Night colored vinyl

variant to commemorate the special occasion.

Under The Pipal Tree is the debut album by now-legendary

Japanese experimental rock band, Mono. Released in

2001 on avant-garde icon John Zorn's Tzadik label, Under

The Pipal Tree showcased a young Japanese quartet whose

wide range of influences - most notably Sonic Youth,

Mogwai, The Velvet Underground, and Neil Young's

Crazy Horse - were on ferocious and ambitious display.

Though Mono would eventually become known for their

expert marriage of metal and classical genres, Under The

Pipal Tree highlights the band's psychedelic roots. Long

stretches of hypnotic, melodic washes give way to scorching

guitar freakouts that evaporate into haunting silence. It's

remarkable not just for it's earnest exploration, but for it's

startling execution. 25 years and a dozen albums later,

Under The Pipal Tree stands as one of the great debut

albums by a seminal underground band
