Another stellar album from Japanese sound experimentalist and noise music king MASAMI AKITA's MERZBOW—his fifth release on the Alien 8 label. Five extended tracks that blend Akita's passion for guitars and the more rhythmic elements of progressive rock and metal with his love for animals—in this case, Akita adds recordings of his own pet chickens with mind-bending results. Dense layers of ambient noise and percussive elements. Packaged in a custom designed gatefold sleeve with artwork of the chickens that appear on the record.
