Dive into the avant-garde sonic landscape of Keiji Haino's latest offering, a sprawling, hour-long exploration of noise rock, free jazz, and drone metal that defies conventional genre boundaries. Released on December 2, 2022, under the collaborative label Black Editions/Purple Trap, this album is a testament to Haino's enduring influence and innovation in experimental music.
With eight expansive tracks spread across four sides, the album unfolds like a journey through Haino's unique sonic universe. Each piece is a testament to his mastery of noise and improvisation, blending raw, unfiltered energy with moments of haunting beauty. Haino's distinctive voice and guitar work take center stage, weaving intricate patterns that are as challenging as they are captivating.
The album's title, "My lord Music, I most humbly beg your indulgence in the hope that you will do me the honour of permitting this seed called Keiji Haino to be planted within you," sets the tone for a deeply personal and introspective experience. Haino's music has always been about pushing boundaries and exploring the outer limits of sound, and this album is no exception.
Fans of Haino's previous work will find familiar elements here, but the album also ventures into new territory, incorporating elements of drone metal and free jazz to create a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to Haino's music, this album is a compelling introduction to one of the most unique and influential voices in experimental music.
