After COVID-19 first swept the world in 2020, Mono feltcompelled to make a special little gift for the Christmasholiday. The accompanying message was simple: "Wishingeveryone good health, happiness, and good cheer in thenew year." Originally made at home in isolation, thisdigital-only release consisted of two new Mono songs:"Scarlet Holliday" and "First Winter." Now, to commemoratethe 2021 holiday season, Mono has reworked andexpanded Scarlet Holliday into a very special 3-song EP(now including the brand new song, "Epilogue").Recorded at home and at Electrical Audio by longtimecollaborator, Steve Albini, newly mixed by John McEntire,and mastered by Bob Weston, Scarlet Holliday is finallybeing released into the world on limited-edition 10" vinyl, aswell as all digital formats.In their unflappable determination to shine light into thedarkness, Mono explains: "These songs were written withthe idea of new hope for the new year since this time hasbecome unforeseeably dark for many in the world."
