Suishou No Fune – Into The Light
Biography
Formed in 1999 as a duo of female guitarist Pirako Kurenai and male guitarist Kageo, Suishou no Fune [soo-ee-sho no foo-neh] have been making some of the most charmingly chaotic dream music coming out of Japan. Their sound contains subcutaneous elements of no-wave energy mixed with psychedelic rock a la early Fushitsusha or Kousokuya. Other songs approach balladry with oddly beautiful twinned vocals and distorted guitars. They have performed around Tokyo with a list of people who could succinctly be described as everybody and were even invited to play Scotland’s Weekend festival in 2005.
“The group’s sound runs from massively distended nod-outs that recall parts of the first Fushitsusha album through weird duo tracks that orbit a parallel universe where late-period John Fahey was the prime influence on Charalambides, infernal Dead C/Gate style guitar abuse and achingly beautiful comedown ballads. The twin vocalists are massively different in their approach, with Pirako singing in a high wayward style that’s all throat and no lungs while Kageo works from the other end of the pipes with a ripped Father Yod/Jim Morrison/Keiji Haino polyglot. Simply one of the greatest out-of-nowhere groups to come out of the Tokyo underground in years and the undisputed stars of PSF’s recent Tokyo Flashback 5 compilation.”

I wish I had a cat that I loved enough to, in the wake of its untimely death, record something as wholly beautiful as Prayer for Chibi. ...except I'm allergic. ...and pretty much despise cats in general (Chibi excluded).

Yes, new album is fantastic. I was afraid at first, sounded almost too traditionally song-based... but hell, it fits them perfectly. Everyone should also check out their collab with Bardo Pond called Moon Phantoms.
