" The spotlight is placed clearly on Linda's guitar and voice
West London five-piece Chubby and the Gang are balanced by two energies – a casual “fuck it” on one side

Keiji Haino + Shuta Hasunuma - U TA CD xx1968 but an incredible album inHaino sings. Hasunuma plays. Its a minimal framework, but what emerges is a boundary blurring sonic exploration. Across the album, Hainos voice threads through Hasunumas layered soundscapes built from analog synths, electric guitar, piano, field recordings, and more. Haino entered the studio with only lyrics in hand, improvising melodies in response to Hasunumas evolving arrangements. The result is a work of deep trust, intuition, and sonic tension.
