Keiji Haino & SUMAC Detail Collaborative Album, ‘American Dollar Bill’

It's SUMAC's first collaborative album ever

Keiji Haino and SUMAC have shared details of their first collaborative album together, American Dollar Bill – Keep Facing Sideways, You’re Too Hideous To Look At Face On.

Spanning five extended pieces, the record is SUMAC’s first ever collaborative album. Haino and SUMAC met up in Tokyo’s Goksound recording studio in summer 2017 to work on the record, and captured a series of unrehearsed, completely non-premeditated sessions. Watch a trailer for the new album above.

Thrill Jockey will release American Dollar Bill – Keep Facing Sideways, You’re Too Hideous To Look At Face On on February 23, 2018.
