Release Notes:
--------------
Suishou No Fune [soo-ee-sho no foo-nay] was formed in 1999 by guitarists
Pirako Kurenai and Kageo. They were quickly acknowledged in Japan for
their unique take on Japanese psychedelic traditions but it wasn't until
their inclusion on PSF's Tokyo Flashback Volume 5 they became that their
international prominance began to grow.
Heavy lyrical emotion transcends linguistic barriers and Pirako's blown
out fuzzy free-dream guitar work is an alternate universe psychedelic
Japanese shoegaze. They are a forest at night drenched in echoing reverb
and soaked with deeply spiritual/emotional melodies. Awash in waves of
fuzz Suishi No Fune's control of detail amidst chaos and heavy emotions
is their deepest asset. Here's to the past. Here's to the future.
Somewhere between Fushitsusha and Windy & Carl there is Suishi No Fune.
"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." --Volcanic Tongue
