hijokaidan: polar nights live

pica005. cd. released winter 2008.

hijokaidan has since 1979 been one of the leading voices in japanese noise music. starting out with a broad line-up of performers, eventually in the course of the 80-ies the hijokaidan sound became easily identifiable with the shredding guitar-sound of band-leader jojo hiroshige and the high-pitched piercing voice of junko. few noise acts have such an instantly recognizable (and intense) sound.

although hijokaidan's status as noise superstars they rarely perform outside japan. the pleasure was then ever greater for the all ears festival in oslo norway to present hijokaidan at their festival in january 2006. polar nights live documents these historical and astonishing performances.

jojo and junko performed as a hijokaidan two-piece on the opening night of the festival, a rarely heard line-up. their performance got such a tremendous response that they came back for an encore (otomo yoshihide, longtime hijokaidan fan who also performed at the festival, proclaimed "incredible! hijokaidan never does encores!"). the second night jojo collaborated with guitarist per gisle galåen (del, the birds), unleashing thick layers of psychedelic and distorted guitar fog, which fans of of fushitsusha, les rallizes denudes and jojo's non-hijokaidan work will appreciate. the final night saw junko hooking up with noise-nik sten ove toft (ryfylke) for a hellish meltdown of twisted electronics and the most intense voice in music.

unlike most other noise acts hijokaidan has not spoiled their fans with a huge number of releases, which makes polar nights live an even more unique statement of pure noise sound.
