Aug 1, 2016The way Nisennenmondai just locks into their particular pocket and keeps forging forward as Sherwood strafes the tracks with every bit of echo and reverb he can muster makes for some of the most obviously fun material without ever feeling like anything but Nisennenmondai.

Apr 1, 2016Nisennenmondai will fill your head with strange, billowing thoughts as their compositions sprint towards infinity. Approached in the correct spirit--principally an understanding that this is music that will ask questions rather than provide answers--their conjurings are irresistible.

Apr 22, 2016Often it’s Himeno’s drums alone which provide any sense of conventional structure, adding hypnotic rhythms to the cicada chatter and guitar feedback of #2 before Zaikawa’s heartbeat-like bassline belatedly joins in.

UncutApr 12, 2016Sherwood's two live mixes almost capture the intensity of their stage show. [May 2016, p.78]

Apr 14, 2016These short tracks hint at the more compact and engaging album #N/A could've been. But on "#2," the collaborators show they can also pull off long-form.
-
May 5, 2016It's an unnerving listen that demands a certain amount of masochism, but you've definitely never heard another band like Nissenenmondai.

Apr 1, 2016The album in it’s conventional format may be too limiting for Nisennenmondai here and therefore, this is not their greatest advert.
