***Shrine presents a Summer of 2004, post-midnight, outdoor field recording made on the footpaths of Japan's largest Shinto shrine, and documents the first time meeting of Japanese improvising duo KUWAYAMA-KIJIMA (the folks behind Japan's Pale Disc records and Lethe-Voice Festival with previous releases on Germany's Trente Oiseaux) with NYC's CARTER THORNTON (IZITITIZ, ZASHIKI-WARASHI, ENOS SLAUGHTER). Constructed with a mixture of cellos, violins, guitars, sticks, leaves, rocks, toys, security guards and wind, the music drones, hisses, screeches and whines with the humid Japanese dark within which it was created. Limited to 500 vinyl copies.
LP $13.50
