Hikikomori is a sonic entity forged in the crucible of London's north and south fringes, they stand as a testament to the power of chaotic synergy. This avant-garde duo comprised of Tom Wilson (Night Porter) and Dean Valentine Smith (Thisbe the Verse/Various Cruelties) conduct intense sonic experiments, fusing a volatile cocktail of free noise and jagged jazz rhythms, reflecting the frenetic energy of urban life and the introspective isolation embodied by the "hikikomori" phenomenon.
Inner City Holdings explore drones, noise, saturated textures and dissonance. Themes of anxiety and oppression in an imagined dystopian city. Elodie Chiper and Frederick Fuller (Bones UK, Whales in Cubicles, Night Flowers) crush guitars and synths over drum machines, creating a dark brooding atmosphere. For fans of David Lynch, SunnO))) and old school industrial goth.
Can we Cry, the follow up from the debut single 'Doom Radio', supported by both Iggy Pop (6 music) and John Kennedy (xfm) is out October 16th.
