C.C.C.C. – LOVE & NOISE

A landmark of Japanese noise, C.C.C.C.’s Love & Noise returns to circulation three decades after its original release on Endorphine Factory in 1996. Recorded and mixed by Hiroshi Hasegawa at Studio Crypt, the album features Mayuko Hino on electronics and theremin, Hasegawa on Moog and oscillator, and Ryuichi Nagakubo on bass. Across three extended pieces, the group balances overwhelming density with long stretches of space, creating a sound that is at once brutally physical, hypnotic, and strangely expansive. Abandon Ship Records presents the first ever vinyl edition of Love & Noise as a deluxe gatefold double LP, limited to 200 copies and including a full-color insert. The reissue is also available as a professionally pressed CD, marking the album’s first appearance on disc in 30 years. For collectors of Japanese noise, experimental electronics, and the foundational releases of the 1990s underground, Love & Noise is an essential document of C.C.C.C.’s singular approach to volume, texture, and sustained sonic intensity.
