Post-rock band MONO have announced a new live album set for release on March 19th.

Beyond the Past • Live in London with the Platinum Anniversary Orchestra is a recording of their 20th anniversary show held at Barbican Centre in London in December 2019. For this special event, MONO selected a line-up of old and new friends to join them, including fellow Japanese underground groups Boris and envy, as well as French post-metal band Alcest and UK collaborators A.A. Williams and Jo Quail. The show culminated with MONO performing with the Platinum Anniversary Orchestra, featuring National Youth String Orchestra, to a sold-out audience of 2,000.

The album will be available in a 3LP vinyl edition, a double-disc CD version and digitally. The physical versions both feature a 40-page booklet containing photos from the event, and they are available for pre-order in Europe from German label Pelagic Records and in North America via New York-based label Temporary Residence Ltd.

In their 20-year history as a band, MONO have presented no more than a half-dozen live concerts featuring the support of an orchestra. We had a chance to interview guitarist Takaakira "Taka" Goto shortly before the Barbican concert, and you can read his thoughts about the special event and MONO's 20th anniversary here.

To give fans a sample of the album, the live recording of Meet Us Where the Night Ends has been released as a preceding digital single. You can listen to it right below:
