Keiji Haino – Nijiumu
Nijiumu is a side project of Keiji Haino, which sometimes involves other musicians. Confusingly, it’s also the title of his is his first solo disc since Watashi Dake? in 1981 and an early release on PSF. Comprised of one 54-minute track, Nijiumu hovers seamlessly from light, tinkling sounds and whispers to piercing shrieks and droning electronics to metal-object improv clatter and tapping guitar ambience—creating a nearly empty, dark state of dream awareness. There’s a section somewhere in the middle of it all where the held vocals and floating strings wail together in an amazing, sustained climax. Unbelievable.
