Black-clad and with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics,burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jam,up-tight are seriously not to be messed with.Heading up the second generation of Japanese pscyedelic rock acts (following on from Fushitusha,Kosokuya and Shizuka)they’re one of the best live groups in Japan.
As you might expect from their name,there’s a chiselled intensity to their playing which displays some startling post Velvets stances. With the movwa to lay down spontaneusly loose, acid-fried and drugged garage psche jam of hypntoic guitar squall, and a line in impassioned and fathomless vocals that are capable of kicking you right in the gut, up-tight have a mesmeric feel to them, unmatched by any peers.

Blending brutalised tripping improv freak-outs with cosmic induced melodic soft psyche Up-Tight arguably provide a structurally sound proposition that’s rooted heavily in Western reference points so that the influence of heroes Velvet Underground are keenly apparent bleeding as they do into elements of early Floyd, Sabbath and Spacemen 3.
—-From Review On Losing Today(UK)—-
The dark shadows cast by this underground Tokyo psych trio have been getting longer of late. We’ve had two cds from them, both of ‘em well-received by the AQ community (the excellent US release Five Psychedelic Pieces on Static Records
