Nazoranai (Haino/O’Malley/Ambarchi) announce new full-length with title so long it definitely won’t fit in this headline, out November 11

If I understood science and subjective human experience enough to set my watch against anything other than other clocks, the second thing on my list to give a shot at watch-setting by (right after the sounds of my roommate doing his violent take on hot yoga in the living room every morning) would be collaborative releases that somehow involve Keiji Haino doing his live collaborative thing. Shit is like literal clockwork. And now, as you have likely intuited, the clock has again struck: Haino’s group with luminaries/best buds Oren Ambarchi and Stephen O’Malley (who are themselves no strangers to clock-like collaboration) Nazoranai has announced its follow-up to their 2012 self-titled debut.

The album is out November 11 via Ideologic Organ (pre-order here). It’s called the most painful time/ happens only once/ has it arrived already..?”. You can peep the poem-like tracklist and an excerpt from the album opener below. Beyond that, there’s not really much I can tell you by way of preparation. Nazoranai play rock music stuffed through the free-improv apocalypse-tilted brains of its three constituents. The album was recorded by Chris Fullard, mixed by Joe Talia and Oren Ambarchi, and mastered by Rashad Becker, as is the custom. Ambarchi is credited with playing the battery on this release. There will be no survivors.

the most painful time/ happens only once/ has it arrived already..?” tracklist:

01. you should look closely
those shattered spells
never attaining embodiment as prayer
they are born here again
02. will not follow
your hoax called history
03. who is making the time rot
04. the most painful time
happens only once
has it arrived already..?
