Dialogue

by Hisato Higuchi

supported by

jgladden minimalist masterpiece, quiet guitar and voice intermingle in hushed communion, fragile lines that crawl forward like raindrops streaking across a bokeh tinted window, reverberant, amplified string are plucked ever so gently, stirring blurry traces hinting at shape and color as sleepy, soulful whispers wash shyly beneath — deserves vinyl to the point i have considered pressing my own personal copy

Chris M whispered guitar and quiet, wordless singing. perfect. Favorite track: Himitsu.

about

Dialogue is the first American release by Tokyo's new rising power Hisato Higuchi. Originally a puppeteer, Higuchi has transformed his glacial, shadow-box inspired hand movements to the twilight theater of electric guitar. His six-string tones and hushed vocals fan out from these haunted torch songs and burning embers of Patty Waters and Keiji Haino's quieter, introspective work. Overall, a beautiful meditation and entirely new vision of celestial blues. His seemingly wordless Japanese croon is a smoky, after-hours call of loss or spectral introspection.

"These [songs] could be the whispers of lovers, the reassurances of parents to sleeping children, the prayers of the lost and lonely, or the tremulous breaths of the finally redeemed. It is heady and intoxicating stuff." -- Nick Southgate, The Wire

What mighty fine recordings these are! Licht at his introspective best...the guitar sound of the first section (sounding like a melodica) is gently pulsing and 'breathy' but this gives way to fractured, shattered and stuttering loops in the second that deconstruct both the musical and emotional harmony...the third track is totally incisive abstraction...I like this very much.
