Wewantsounds announce a special edition of the legendary 1979 Masahiko Togashi album Song of Soil, recorded in Paris with Don Cherry and Charlie Haden and released on Japanese label Paddle Wheel. Supervised by Parisian producer Martin Meissonnier.
Singing in their native Japanese and utilizing unpredictable song transitions, melodic post-rock-inspired sounds and jazz-influenced instrumental breaks, this 13 track record will likely appeal to fans of Battles, Speedy Ortiz and Don Caballero.
The album is a haunted house of spare, skittery guitar, spooky sound effects, abbreviated beats and Adrian's hollowed out, schizo vocals. If you are interested in early UK proto-Industrial music, give this a try.
