Nijiumu is the first release of Haino's solo career after the '81 Watashi Dake? (it has nothing to do with his side-project band Nijiumu). A dark, airy, struggling and terrorizing record. Everything sounds in place, and at the same time, completely disjoint. His voice, the feedback, the guitar, the crashes and thunders of some distant percussion, and even a haunted piano (perfomed by Takafumi Matsuoka) is unified and dissolved into a ominous sinister atmosphere.
Comprised of one 54-minute track, Nijiumu hovers seamlessly from light, tinkling sounds and whispers to piercing shrieks and droning electronics to metal-object improv clatter and tapping guitar ambience—creating a nearly empty, dark state of dream awareness. There’s a section somewhere in the middle of it all where the held vocals and floating strings wail together in an amazing, sustained climax. Unbelievable.
