Li-Jianhong



Li-Jianhong is at the leading edge of Asian avant-noise. Hailing from Zhejiang Province in China (before moving to Hangzhou) he formed the avant-rock group "Second Skin" and now manages 2pi Records. He lays waste to the retrograde psychedelic guitar landscape and trivializes the petty cartoon violence and shock tactics so popular within too many harsh noise projects.

P.S.F. records describe him as "China's hottest, loudest and most psychedelic avant-noise guitarist". I can't add to that.

Listen...buy...worship!

Li is just starting to hit his stride, I think. "Lovers..." may be the best thing he's done yet. His Vagusnerve LP is also amazing.

Totally agree on both counts! Really can't wait to see where he takes it next....

The D!O!D!O!D! release is excellent too! spose I should post both of them really...

Fantastic stuff- that you so much for letting those with open ears hear a great musician who should be better known

Mega. Thanks so much for introducing me to Li. There's a muscularity here that's evidence of a muso with a strong vision and the chops to realize that vision. Awesome.
