For My Parents is the sixth full-length album from Japanese post-rock band Mono. It was released in September 2012. The band also released a video for the opening song "Legend" titled "Legend: A Journey Through Iceland." The video was directed by Henry Jun Wah Lee.[10]
For My Parents received positive reviews, Drowned in Sound said 'The band has progressed to a point where their work sounds unique, and now they'll continue to painstakingly develop every aspect of that work with each release'[11] and Consequence of Sound said 'For My Parents isn’t likely to go down with your Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanadas or Spiderlands, but there are times when it seems to break new ground, amounting to maximal yet clearly produced spectacle that only a band as musically cognizant and technically fluent as Mono could muster'.[12]
