Monos

Mica Levi’s absorbing soundtrack for Alejandro Landes’ ‘Mono’ is a jagged tessellation of electro/acoustic/environmental textures riven with pangs of emotive string orchestration. Following a group of young soldiers and rebels watching over an American hostage in an undisclosed location and time in the South American jungle, ‘Monos’ pursues a storyline where “order descends into chaos”, which surely proved a tasty concept for Mica to dive in with her abundant imagination and remarkably wide-scoped palette of electronics, strings, and field recordings.
