HARUTAKA, MOCHIZUKI - Through The Glass

Recorded at Shizuoka Ezaki Hall, June 3, 2016. "Mochizuki Harutaka is a Tokyo-based "next-wave" multi-instrumentalist who combines blasted vocals with solo saxophone, bells, guitar and piano. His haunted vocal style is pitched somewhere between Jandek, Keiji Haino and a death-decadent torch singer, while his saxophone improvisations orbit the same lonely satellites as solo thinkers like Masayoshi Urabe, Arthur Doyle, Anthony Braxton and Kaoru Abe. Nerve-flaying blues from a player who has been there and back." -Le Weekend Festival.
