Keiji Haino – Next, Let’s Try Changing the Shape
Keiji Haino vinyl alert! This is the first platter o’ black wax from this camp in eight years, since the Vol. 2 LP with Loren Mazzacane Connors was released back in 1997. Picking up where To Start With, Let’s Remove the Color! left off, Next, Let’s Try Changing the Shape offers up an additional 70 minutes of lost-in-a-nocturnal-bog sound in the form of four long sides of off-kilter, guitar strum jabs and buried, intoning vocals–all cloaked in the most gigantic midnight Grand Canyon reverb and layered delay imaginable. And is that actually an overdubbed lead guitar I hear in the last track? The world may never know! If so, that may be a first for Keiji Haino. Limited to a mere 500 copies on vinyl, Next, Let’s Try Changing the Shape comes sheathed in an elegant, black, single LP sleeve on thin stock with a portrait of Haino on the front. Bee-you-ta-full!
