suishou no fune - bonsai no ie - 8mm - lp - 20$
The new installment from Pirako Kurenai and Kageo's Suishou no Fune is finally ready, and it's a true gem. Recorded in a Bonsai Shop in Tokyo, summer 2010, 'Bonsai No Ie' is a dream made out of floating guitar textures and vanishing vocal lines. Four spectral, naked pieces that stand as the core of Suishou no Fune's poetry, where delicate folk moments, abstract blues riffs and oniric ballads concur in the realisation of the definitive psych experience. Close your eyes and abandon your senses to a journey through the land of ethereal joy and endless abandon. Comes in a beautiful professionally printed cover, specifically designed by artist Anya Kuts. Edition of 250 copies.
c spencer yeh / jon wesseltoft - northern resonance III-II - 8mm - lp - 20$
Yeh and Wesseltoft met in Oslo, Norway, in the cold winter of 2008. Within the combination between the highly dynamic peaks of Spencer’s violin and the warm, eternal continuum produced by Jon’s harmonium, they found the key to deliver a flux of epic, organic drones that sound like nothing they have recorded before. Two years later (february 2010), they did it again, same room, same set-up, same magic. The best takes from those sessions are on the two sides of this Lp. This is the sound of the Norwegian fjords, so powerful and bright like a ‘northern resonance’, as perfectly defined by its title.
The cover artwork by Lasse Marhaug give the final touch to this gem. Ageless.
Full colour pro-printed cover, edition of 300 copies.
