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
