SHURAYUKI-HIME "YUKIBANGO" 6CDR (AOW 336)

New immersive album from Liam McGeorge's (D.S.W.A.C.V.) excellent Shurayuki-Hime project.  Usually working in a pretty blistering HNW mode, "Yukibango" sees the project veering away from the caustic violence of previous works and exploring a more meditative and gentle mode of noise.  The pieces here are dripping with detail and depth but are incredibly unique in their pursuit of a softer space.  It's incredibly minimalistic and lovely; the six hour long pieces here sound like various rainstorms captured in different locales.  A masterful exercise in thoughtful composition, truly relaxing to listen to and immerse yourself in.  Definitely one for headphones and high volumes.
Packaged in a DVD case and released in a limited edition of 10 hand-numbered copies.  $30 ppd. in the United States, $43 rest of world.
