about

Returning to Bent Window is the tour-de-force spastic noise/free jazz duo, HIKIKOMORI. Unrestrained harsh electronics beating next to spastic drum work, allowing for boundless artistic exploration. Brilliant work again from these two dreamy sound wizards.

Post Mortem

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎 Rinchen Choesang
