As Austin’s Explosions in the Sky drifts purposefully away from Friday Night Lights classicism, Tokyo quartet Mono stays the course with gorgeous instrumental guitarchitecture. Sixth studio effort since 1999, last months’s For My Parents pays loving tribute to the life cycle in five tracks, the shortest eight minutes. Closer “A Quiet Place (Together We Go)” could be a companion piece to EITS’ “Your Hand in Mine.” Back to Mono. Chris Brokaw opens. – Raoul Hernandez
