Endon

Boy Meets Girl

Release date: February 15, 2019

Label: Thrill Jockey

Boy Meets Girl was envisioned as a soundtrack to an imagined horror film about love. The core of the ensemble's song structures are often built around Koki's fuzz-laden guitar and Shin's drum bombast which propel torrents of hisses and squelches from Taro and Etsuo. Taichi's largely lyricless screams, moans, and whimpers are potent messengers of the songs' emotional heft. There lies an ecstatic, excited energy amidst the anarchic defiance ENDON's music exudes. Born of the same Japanese scenes that gave rise to the likes of Merzbow and Boredoms, their sound is equally diverse and abrasive. Boy Meets Girl demonstrates ENDON's singular faculty to produce music that is at once tortured and transcendent
