hototogisu means mockingbird... didn't know that, didja?
anyhoo, here's a noise fan's wet-dream team up, hototogisu and burning star core. i am a big fan of everything c. spencer yeh does, but i always think that his collaborations are better than his solo releases (he recently played with jandek and stole the show in my opinion.) this is the first cd (of two) of their collaborations, this one released on drone disco (spencer's label) and the other coming out on heavy blossom (hototogisu's label). this one is great, though it suffers from a murky recording that makes it pretty hard to distinguish what is what... it's all just one huge maelstrom of noise, a swirling howl that makes the violin and guitars almost indestinguishable.
basically, most of this release sounds like hototogisu with a drummer (the dude from hair police and eyes and arms of smoke), but it is capped off with a final freakout of a track that really kicks you in the face and lets you know that these boys and girl can mush your brains as well as grind your teeth.
if you've liked the noisier stuff on here, or are a fan of spencer or bower or basset, then get this.
