       | Crazy the exposure this group is getting. HN? Noise record

       | hoped.

       | Can remember geeking out with a record store clerk in the mid 00s
       | about all sorts of ear splitting trash, and when he went to
       | mention LRD there was this awkward moment when it became clear
       | that neither of us had ever actually uttered the band's name out
       | loud before, and didn't really know how to say it. Even though
       | their star has been rising for some time now, it's still a bit
       | surreal seeing a NYT article about them--with a helpful
       | pronunciation to boot.

       | What a great band, there's a lot we'll never know about them, but
       | I think it's crazy that I at least have a definitive answer about
       | Mizutani being alive up until 2019, because pretty much
       | everything you'd read said that he was so reclusive no one knew.
       | I'm happy that he lived that long and really sad that he didn't
       | get to live long enough for a revival.

       | I won't even pretend to understand their music, and the bootlegs
       | are of varying quality, but there are some definite gems. In
       | addition to the songs mentioned in the article, this is a great
       | one especially for people that aren't that into noise music:

       | Here are a couple of their better bootleg albums:

       | I had to immediately pre-order all 3 of the vinyl reissues. It's
       | really sad to hear that Mizutani was interested in a reunion just
       | months before he died, but to even learn that much is pretty
       | interesting.
