Second LP from Tomoyuki Trio, featuring Tomoyuki Aoki with Mike Vest and Dave Sneddon.
Issued by Feeding Tube with Cardinal Fuzz involvement, following the group's Mars LP. Heavy Japanese psych with long-form guitar hypnosis, fuzz, drone, and a darker stoner-rock edge.
For fans of: Up-Tight, Les Rallizes Dénudés, Fushitsusha, White Heaven, and speaker-pushing psych records.
Shitsuren is not polite background psych. It leans into thick guitar saturation, narcotic repetition, and big slow-burn movement, the kind of record that makes more sense the louder it gets.
Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records present the second LP from Tomoyuki Trio (Tomoyuki Aoki, Mike Vest, and Dave Sneddon) following their debut LP Mars on the esteemed Riot Season Record Label. Tomoyuki Aoki is the founding member and lead guitarist of the legendary Tokyo Psych Monsters Up-Tight. Of all the Japanese psych-rock groups that emerged in the late nineties and early noughties, Up-Tight are the most reverent, the most directly plugged into the source, from their name (Velvet Underground) with knowing referential song titles like "Sweet Sister" to their extended heavy, dark black clad acid fried one chord psych melters -- bands like Fushitsusha, White Heaven, Kousokuya, Shizuka, and the grandaddies of 'em all, the deservedly-legendary, Les Rallizes Denudes. Shitsuren if anything has got an even heavier, dronier edge than the last one. Super fuzzed guitars, sad ballads, grinding distorto epics and numbed, narcotic rhythms. This is one to play at maximum volume so that you can soak up its molten magik, as over two sides of Shitsuren's grueling guitar hypnotics you uncover the darker side of the ensembles personality to find them digging deep to drag the audience with them into the shadows of stoner psyche. If you can picture Okhami No Jikan, Asahito Nanjo, Musica Transonic, and Toho Sara then you're close to the outrageous levels of psychedelic excess captured here, a riotous concoction of ferociously brooding, locked down heavy bearing intensity of fierce/brutal speaker battering in the red levels.
