Kicking off with a downright psychotic improv by Marble Sheep wherein the band's searing free-rock wildfire is kept from melting into outright noise only by the diligence of the cyborgs in the rhythm section, this caustic ride through Japanese rock extremism maintains a similarly breakneck pace for a solid hour, each track throwing a fascinating twist or turn in to keep things interesting, until screeching to a halt so Haino can j/o into a mic for 8 minutes. Oh well, nothing's perfect! 9/10 CptHatemonger
Old school Japanese fuzzed out psych from the classic P.S.F. label. Of the same cloth and time as similar Japanese monster bands Fushitsusha & High Rise, these tracks are less avant-garde than those bands and more focused on the songs and melody. Of course when discussing "Out" the stupendous playing of guitar master Michio Kurihara (later of the Japanese band Ghost) must be stated which sets the album on fire. I have been wanting to score this on vinyl for over a decade, totally worth the wait! bcb723
Definitely different from his more recent collaboratively ethereal and leisurely LP's, this is a crepitating, sparsely textured album that sounds like a peregrine mixture of Whitehouse eeriness, Diamanda Galas, and the first Sonic Youth LP if it was played by Jandek. A fascinating LP that is best played at very loud volumes lying on the sofa after a few Fernet Branca's. brantly
Psychedelia at its most fundamental, the new EP from pôt-pot is equal parts Velvet Underground, BJM, and hypnotic vibes. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2024
