Release Notes:
As one gazes across the landscape that is the current UK music scene
itÆs hard to see anything apart from processed and re-packaged rubbish.
Somewhat like walking through a Tesco superstore, in that it has become
difficult to find anything wholesome. Something brought to you with the
absolute minimum of interference by outside agencies.
Japanese Voyeurs are a London based 5-piece that seem to have
misunderstood the mainstream manual. Showcasing a DIY garage rock
sound, the group seem closer to Jon SpencerÆs Pussy Galore in that they
may have deliberately unlearned their instruments. If this wasnÆt
enough the band have a certain x-factor in the vocal stylings of Romily
Alice. Who seems, not unlike Chan Marshall, to have ignored every vocal
coach in the world, resulting in a voice so unique that it would be a
staggering shame for it not to be more widely recognised in the future.
The band declare they are powered by repression and listening to these
three early tracks itÆs possible to taste that most British or
preoccupations. Given all these factors it seems hard to believe that
the band will find a market in the current Tesco Value UK music scene,
saying far more about the British listener than the actual talent on
show here, sadly.
Japanese Voyeurs æSicking and CreamingÆ EP is as honest and raw an
introduction to a band as your likely to find today. Very aptly
released on Slimeball Records on the 5th of October it would be a crime
not to purchase a copy. At some point in the near future music
listeners will hopefully come to their senses and understand that there
is no substitute for honesty in creative endeavour. Anyone can walk
around humming a catchy tune that will never raise one question in your
mind as to why it was recorded. Japanese Voyers give a glimpse from
within the viscera of their inner creative workings, possibly somewhat
uncomfortable but there simply is nothing better to experience.
