Necessary vinyl reissue of the debut album from Japanese acid folk loner Aritomo. Originally self-released on vinyl in 2005, the album was recorded between 2003-2004. It’s a magical side, recalling aspects of Go Hirano, the Org catalogue and early Ghost. Aritomo’s vocals have a slurred/alien tongue feel that is nicely drugged and the music moves from avalanching acoustic downers ala Leonard Cohen through weird flute and field recordings that reflect on the more ‘environmental’ aspects of Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides and fragile/lucid folk songs that combine gentle ritualistic atmospheres, Hallelujahs-style melodies and a vocal that’s way beyond the blank. A classic side of PSF-styled acid folk. Edition of only 300 copies. Highly recommended.
