Japanese post-rock combo Mono will release their first DVD January 22 on Temporary Residence. Titled The Sky Remains the Same as Ever, it’s an almost two-hour chronicle of the recording of 2006’s You Are There and the subsequent worldwide tours in support of the album. In terms of footage, this translates to a dozen live tunes "and driving…lots and lots of driving," according to a press release. How Mono-tonous!

The Sky Remains the Same as Ever is available now in Mono’s native Japan via Human Highway Records.

And it seems we’ll have to content ourselves with these digitalized renderings of the Mono live event for now, as the band has no touring plans at the moment.
