放上FV44的Dialogue跟FV53的Butterfly Horse Street。对于我来说是适合夏天听的音乐。迷幻的吉他勾勒出特有的凄迷画境，时而躁动，时而低沉，不温不火的声腔若隐若现，绝对的低调氛围中，Hisato Higuchi营造的仲夏午后让人昏昏欲睡，仿佛池边略微灼热和惨白蒸腾的太阳。到了夜晚，灯光附近附着飞虫，屋顶壁虎爬来爬去，流浪猫偎在脚边一动不动，清晰听见蝉鸣，月光虽是冷的，地温还是很高，躺在凉席上使劲扇扇子也不行，总之是睡不着了。Hisato Higuchi出生于名古屋，现居东京，吉他手和声音实验家。最早在剧团演出，1999年开始做音乐，2003年在Ghost Disc出版第一张EP专辑She，紧跟着在2004年发行现场录音专辑2004 11 2005 4。2006年和2007年抛过两张砖Dialogue跟Butterfly Horse Street于“自家葡萄园”Family Vineyard。2008年在Sloow Tapes发行限量100张的磁带Wind Chimes In The Head。Tokyo Flash Back 5中也收录过他的作品。

"Tokyo-based musician Hisato Higuchi assembles [his music from] pedaling shapes of wraithlike guitar; blasted, genderless vocals; and thin films of digital electronics and fuzz. On guitar he plays blues as oratonical as Loren Mazzacane Connors, moving from chords that sing like guts of pianos through slouched single notes, propping up song forms as nod-out beautiful as anything conceived by Kendra Smith and David Roback." -- THE WIRE
Dialogue is the first American release by Tokyo's new rising power, Hisato Higuchi. Originally a puppeteer, Higuchi has transformed his glacial, shadow box-inspired hand movements to six-strings. Flickering between beautiful melodic/melancholic space-blues and haunting verbal aches, Higuchi's tones of electric guitar and hushed vocals fan out from the burning embers of Keiji Haino's quieter, introspective work or even the haunted torch songs of Patty Waters. His seemingly wordless Japanese croon is a smoky, after-hours call of loss. The music manifests itself in a unique and singular conception. It breathes slowly, almost to the point of stillness, an eerie voice and flinty guitar searching for quiet revelation that carries the deep grace of Charalamabides or even Mazzy Star. The perfect introduction for stateside listeners.Hisato Higuchi - Butterfly Horse Street

11.Cry Baby Flowers爱人的呢喃细语，关于失去与孤独的祈祷诗篇。
"These [songs] could be the whispers of lovers, the reassurances of parents to sleeping children, the prayers of the lost and lonely, or the tremulous breaths of the finally redeemed. It is heady and intoxicating stuff." -- The Wire
Over two full-lengths and an EP, Tokyo-based guitarist/singer Hisato Higuchi has shaped an inimitable sound sphere of solitary electric notes that drape across his unearthly moan. Channeling loneliness and desires as elegant six-string tone poems, Higuchi has reached the heights of fellow travelers from Meredith Monk to Charalambides, though Butterfly Horse Street adds an unexpected snarl as Higuchi erupts into a free/noise, wall-of-sound guitar style that echoes the most ecstatic string manipulation of Masayuki Takayanagi or Donald Miller(Borbetomagus). Ferocious and howling, Higuchi still paints desolation, whether bleeding into the red or as hushed beauty.
