new humans

"noise surrounds and permeates us, and no one is more responsible than the new humans from that loudest and noisiest of metropolises: new york. from installation art to ear splitting live concerts, this infernal power trio lead by artist mika tajimi eschews no collaboration, no matter how insane. guitarist and artistic leader tajimi is supported by electronics specialist and voice acrobat howie chen, drummer eric tsai, as well as a large number of guest musicians. the new humans like nothing more than to drag friend and foe with them into their noise avalanches."
