It's already in the stores for a while, but the important thing is that it's finally there. The first full-length album of The Icarus Line. When familiar with The Icarus Line you definitely know the dozens of previously released EP's and splits and surely remember their noisy and aggressive sound. Their latest release 'Mono' doesn't differ on those two parameters. In fact the only difference between 'Mono' and their earlier efforts is the improved sound. Damn, this album rocks! Song titles like 'You Make Me Nervous' and 'L.O.S.T.' give a perfect description of the listening experience that is 'Mono'. It actually started working on my nerves after the first four songs. But what else do you expect when digging music like this?! Then, all of a sudden, some unexpected melody like in 'In Lieu'. A short eight point two minute noise release in which the five guys of The Icarus Line prove that they are able to do more than just smash some instruments and scream their guts out. That's the way to organize music and create an album. Still, most of the 'Mono' songs sound extremely hectic, making the album a must for the hyperactive ones among us, which will be entertained for more than fifty minutes. One minor thing, which I hate to admit: sometimes a small resemblance with Nirvana can be heard. But fortunately a better comparison is At The Drive In's 'Relationship Of Command'. Thank God!
'Mono's cover art is very nice, although a bit weird, but it definitely represents the music. For all the media freaks among us a video of 'Feed A Cat To Your Cobra' has been copied on the album. It took a long time for The Icarus Line to create a full-length album, but I'm damn proud of result these youngsters achieved. The last thing worth to mentioning is that they kick ass live. Check them out if they're in the neighbourhood!
