Hikari To Nazukeyo appears to be the one hundred and first album the durable Japanese contrarian Keiji Haino has released since 1970.
Though a classic blues rock trio in shape and sonic palette, like Cream or the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Haino’s Fushitsusha group genuflect toward no-tunes European late Sixties free improvisation.
Their 9th album finds four uncharacteristically short tracks, with an almost jazz funk feel underlying their unpredictably impulsive surface noise, subside into three super-dense noise freakouts, the band beginning their journeys to overdriven oblivion at the point where lightweights like Hawkwind, Sonic Youth and White Hills are just winding down.
