Jam Session At Lemur House Archive DVD-6 DVD £11.99 Great new DVD set from this classic Japanese underground black psych outfit. This one bundles three distinct sessions, a live set at the Big Jar bookstore in Philadelphia, another gig at The Tank in NYC and a “Creamy Jam” at Bardo Pond’s Lemur House space featuring various Bardo heads as well as local legend/Jack Rose collaborator Harmonica Dan. The set runs to an hour all-in and the sound is fucking great. Pirako and Kageo totally look the part, all in black with shades and waste-length hair, and their take on the Japanese psych sound is choice, amplifying the smog of reverb and the endless F/X dazzled lead guitar to the point of oblivion and this is another totally enthralling chapter. Comes housed in a large four panel foldout cover slipped inside a custom sized 10mil PVC sleeve. Edition of 600 copies. |

Bonsai No Ie 8MM 047 LP £18.99 New album from Tokyo psych duo Suishou No Fune in an edition of only 250 copies: recorded live in a Bonsai Shop in Tokyo (!?!) this is Kageo and Pirako at their most celestial, with great sweeps of transparent dream tone that dissolve inspired versions of early material in clouds of fuzz and candyfloss. Suishou No Fune are obvious heirs to the whole Rallizes/Fushitsusha/Shizuka sound but with a focus more on blurry drone and vertical ascensions so if you’re a particular fan of the whole space-ballad style of the PSF roster – and who isn’t? – this is the one you’ve been waiting for. Some of the guitar lines are so ornate and transportive that at points it feels like being in the centre of one of The Grateful Dead’s most blasted matrixes, stepping way beyond the terrain of the song into previously unmapped sonic territories. It’s a trip but with only 250 copies, it won’t stick around forever. Recommended. |
