Sumac - To Release New Collaboration With Keiji Haino
American post-metal band Sumac and Japanese experimental musician Keiji Haino have already collaborated on two albums, and now we have another collaborative effort between the two on the way. Into This Juvenile Apocalypse / Our Golden Blood To Pour / / Let Us Never will be out October 7th via Trill Jockey, and you can pre-order it here.
The official statement reads: "Like its predecessor, Even For Just The Briefest Moment / Keep Charging This "Expiation" / Plug In To Making It Slightly Better (Trost Records, 2019), Into This Juvenile Apocalypse... captures Haino and the three members of Sumac live on stage, navigating a series of spontaneous compositions in front of an attentive audience, with no prior discussions or planning involving the direction of the music. Recorded on May 21, 2019, at the Astoria Hotel on Vancouver BC’s notorious East Hastings Street as a one-off performance during a short North American tour for Haino, the six compositions comprising Into This Juvenile Apocalypse... showcase a musical unit bouncing unfiltered ideas off of one another, mining a trove of textures and timbres from their armory to buoy and bolster these living and breathing pieces. Like so many albums documenting free music, the thrill here is in the tight rope walk, the wavering moments of uncertainty, and the ecstatic moments of shared brilliance."
