Neurotten

>(decrescendo)
Japanese “noise” masters The Gerogerigegege go quiet on the super limited vinyl edition of their 2019 tape for Tokyo clothing label Cav Empt, delivered via TTT. Showcasing the flip side to their abject noise and playful cut-ups, ‘>(decrescendo)’ sees them ditch the noisy extremity for 40 minutes bathed in pastoral new age ambience and riddled with iridescent, melodic lines of thought that will probably mess with preconceptions of what they’re about (unless you’ve really delved into their catalo…
