The Green Blossoms are Aiko Koga and Anthony Guerra. Aiko sings and plays ukulele. Anthony sings just a little and plays the other instruments (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, second ukulele, synthesiser, percussion, pitch pipes).
Formed in Sydney, in 2005 the duo moved to Japan. Their first album was called ‘Stones and Ecstasy’ and was released on the PseudoArcana label. Second one, ‘Whiskey Leaves’ has been released on the Digitalis label.

Anthony also plays sad solo music, and loud rock music with other people.

“The Green Blossoms are the duo of Anthony Guerra and Aiko Koga, and the two create gorgeously sun dappled little universes of droning ambient twang pop perfection. With just ukulele, guitar, harmonica, pitch pipes and vocals, these two stroll through some fantastical world of constant summery bliss, sometimes it’s night, but even then, their world is brilliantly lit by sparkling stars, a full moon, and warm crackling campfires. Guitars and ukes play delicate little melodies, each melody then looped into an hypnotic swirl of blissed out mesmer, then each one is wreathed in some sort of diffused fuzz, a deep glowing halo of sound, be it tinkling chimes, warm processed vocal harmonies, or dense dreamy drones. This is some absolutely gorgeous, late afternoon, early early morning, hammock swaying in the breeze, back porch sunset, late night crackling fire, staring at the stars
