| june 2009 release ; lp-only release from this chinese solo psychedelic guitar traveler, after an excellent archive-label disc from a few years back, & subsequent outings for psf & his own 2pi imprint ...
jianhong’s playing has all of the catharsis of haino’s, but there’s a righteous, almost cosmic manner to it that belies a certain hendrix influence ... one of the better “bedroom” guitar blowouts of recent times ... |

| li jianhong / lovers with cloisonné bracelet / tbt009
hangzhou’s li jianhong has been performing alone and in the duo d!o!d!o!d! for several years, but he only caught western ears last year with the monumental san sheng shi, released by philadelphia’s archive cd. oceanic and desolate, lovers with cloisonné bracelet cements li as a distinctive voice in modern noise. the two halves of this record are an ideal introduction to li’s music: “lovers in misery” offers a restrained, electric swell; “time in the mirror” wallows in hototogisu-an guitar hell. without sacrificing pacing for density, li has crafted an album that decimates the retrograde psychedelic guitar landscape and trivializes the petty violence of much harsh noise.
