Lop Lop is a studio album by the Japanese noise musicianMerzbow. It was released on December 3, 2011 by the Italian label Rustblade, and is his first release on the label. The title is a reference to Loplop, a bird-like alter ego of dada and surrealist Max Ernst. Rustblade says that Lop Lop is "a step in a new direction" and that "synths and guitars scream and sing in a way which allows them to be heard through all the oppressive noise".[1]
The album was announced when a short trailer featuring the track "Canaanda" was posted to YouTube[2] "Madoromi" means to doze or nap in Japanese, "Hakutouwashi" means bald eagle. "Sujata & Asoka" are common Indian names.
