On March 20, Tokyo-based tQ favourites Nisennenmondai release a new live record as part of the Live At Clouds Hill series. The EP’s four tracks were all recorded at Hamburg’s Clouds Hill Recordings studio in June 2013 in front of a small, invited audience and we are excited to offer you an exclusive stream of opening track, ‘A’, above. The track showcases what Nisennenmondai do best, its 12 minutes driven by Yuri Zaikawa’s bass and smatterings of bleak guitar.
Live At Clouds Hill follows the release of the trio’s last full-length, N, in Europe last year and will be available on 12" vinyl, CD and via digital download, which will also include exclusive live footage taken from the performance. You can find full details of Nisennenmondai’s upcoming European tour, which starts at Berlin’s CTM-Festival this Sunday and also takes in UK shows in London, Manchester and Brighton, below. Have a read of Tristan Bath’s July 2014 interview with the band too if you missed it, right here.
