Out today on Black Truffle a mindblowing early 90s archival release from Keiji Haino’s NIJIUMU project. Mysterious sonorities & free-floating melodies bathed in reverb that occasionally erupt into violence. Also includes an ahead-of-its-time scorcher from 1973. Limited 2LP+digital: shorturl.at/bnIFI

I ❤️ the title of this album:

"When I sing, I slip into the microphone. Into that void, I bring comrade “prayers”, then, turning to face the outside, together we explode," by Nijiumu

It has been reissued by Oren Ambarchi's Black Truffle label

It's heavy!

Keiji Haino is unquestionably one of the world's greatest living artists, and this really is one of the best we’ve heard from him - recorded in 1994, but including a heavvvy af proto power electronics jam recorded in 1973 = Jaw-dropping, vital gear

Minimal jazz, avant-rock, experimental groove, modal funk — whatever you want to call it, it’s mutating before our very ears, and growing stranger and more powerful with every installment.

Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin's 'Ghosted III' is an exquisite listen and perhaps their best yet. "All circular grooves and spectral riffs", as I write in my review for @thequietus.com.

Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin – Ghosted III | The Quietus

The third hook-up between the Australian guitarist and the Swedish rhythm section feels relaxed and nimble – and more ghostly than ever

'All circular grooves and spectral riffs, with Werliin and Berthling’s pulsing sway providing the motor that anchors and pulls along the broad palette of effervescent sounds Ambarchi extracts from his guitar'
