An instrumental solo guitar album from Jojo Hiroshige, founder of Hijokaidan and self-styled King of Noise. Improvisation for solo electric guitar pushed to a dense, heavy extreme that is hard to believe comes from a single instrument. On Alchemy.

One man, one guitar, and a great deal of weight. Little Something is a solo instrumental album by Jojo Hiroshige, the founder of Hijokaidan and Alchemy Records long known as the King of Noise.

Set apart from his song-based solo work, this is improvisation for solo electric guitar, and its surprise is density. It is difficult to believe that a single instrument produces sound this thick and heavy - layered, roaring and structurally dense where one might expect the thinness of a lone guitar. Hiroshige treats the instrument less as a melodic tool than as a generator of mass, drawing on decades of practice at the outer edges of what a guitar can be made to do.

A concentrated dose of his instrumental language, away from the voice and away from the band. Issued by Alchemy Records.
