'89 (Jaki Matsuri '89 Live)

An incredibly obscure archival recording from 1989, this album highlights the deeply unsettling acoustic anti-folk of one of Japan's most reclusive outsider artists. Featuring tortured, screaming vocals accompanied by erratic guitar strumming and bursts of harsh noise, the atmosphere is violently depressive. It represents the darkest, most abrasive fringes of the Japanese loner-folk underground.
