New Release:
The Chinese label, Old Heaven Books, has released a live album by Keiji Haino. The title is The Meaning of Blackness and it features Haino on guitar, vocals and electronics from 2016. The digital download is available on bandcamp. This same page says that the album was officially released on December 5, 2019 but the digital release just appeared today. There has been no sign of the compact disc or vinyl versions. The distribution is undoubtedly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. If anyone discovers an online retailer with either the cd or vinyl, please email me and I will post it here. In the meantime, we updated the solo live page of the discography. |
