Album Notes & Community Reviews
In a startling departure from his usual guitar-driven noise assaults, the Japanese avant-garde master dedicates an entire album to the hurdy-gurdy. Haino utilizes the medieval acoustic instrument to conjure an oppressively dark, minimalist atmosphere, relying entirely on dissonant, uninterrupted drone and complex, mournful vocal improvisations.
