Available on LP for the first time outside of Japan, experimental rock pioneers BORIS & noise mastermind MERZBOW present Klatter, the third collaboration between the two groups.
Originally released in 2011, this is a recording of a studio session/collaboration that took place around the time of the release of "Akuma no Uta" in 2003. In addition to the songs from "Akuma no Uta," the album features repetitive hammer beats, a cover of Jane from Germany, and many other krautrock aspects. It was originally released in a limited edition of 1,000 vinyl copies, sold out immediately, and has long since been out of print. This album is also being reissued in its original jacket, which was specially printed at the time.
Both BORIS and MERZBOW are well known for numerous collaborative works with a plethora of artists, but have been working together since 1997. Musically, BORIS helps to shape MERZBOW’s wall of noise as a composed musical score with structure, and to make it easier to access the noise master’s music while MERZBOW adds an extreme high frequency to BORIS’ signature heavier sound.
