Chicago sound artist Kikù Hibino and Japanese noise legend Merzbow share a second preview from their debut collaborative album Rococo ∞ Echomatter, due May 29th, 2026 via Superpang.
Including Patrick Shiroishi (The Armed, Fuubutsushi) this time around, the new single saxxxrum leans further into the project’s exploratory edge. It opens with a burst of intense saxophone before folding into the duo’s dense, tumultuous sound.
The track reflects the forward thinking approach behind the collaboration, bringing together distinct voices in a way that feels both immediate and expansive, and providing an engaging introduction to one of the most exciting releases of the year.
