Zeni Geva and Steve Albini

I just got this for myself, and I couldn't wait to share. So I have no idea what it even sounds like, but I love zeni geva and am confident it will be nothing short of amazing. I had no Idea this even existed. anyways for those of you unfamiliar with zeni geva, they are a metal band from japan. they take elements from noise, to sludge, to borderline prog and have crafted a pretty unique place for themselves in this eclectic world of music. fans of Unsane, Mastodon, Neurosis and Oxbow should give these guys some attention. I will Listen to this soon and if I'm not blown away by it, Ill put a better record of theirs up. also check out 10,000 light years by them. fuck it Ill just post it later.

Koenjihyakkei - Angherr Shisspa

Some bands you just have to hear. Japan's KOENJIHYAKKEI (aka Koenji Hyakkei aka Hundred Sights of Koenji) are just such a band. Headed by vocalist / composer / drummer extraordinaire Tatsuya Yoshida (of the renowned bass and drum duo RUINS), advance listens have yielded head-scratching comments comparing KOENJIHYAKKEI's fourth album (and USA debut) "Angherr Shisspa" to Stereolab, Yes, Queen, Melt-Banana mr. bungle, sleppy time guerilla museum and "something so far off Broadway it's on the moon". All that makes the band sound indecipherable and impenetrable. Fortunately, that's not the case, there's plenty to latch onto, densely packed into the album's 50 minute running time. In the heady, heavy prog-circles, Koenji is already firmly established; renowned as the ultimate contemporary progressive rock outfit; with three albums and a live dvd released in their native Japan (and heavily exported around the world). KOENJIHYAKKEI explodes with glittery keyboard lines, speedy bass/drum workouts, emotive reed respites, and operatic female vocals that take the listener from sheer exuberance to absolute apocalypse... And all this is performed with superhuman technique in extremely catchy, complex arrangements.

Lebanon

Lebanon are an instrumental band from Isreal. Planet rubble is a great find from one of my favorite record labels, Australian Cattle God Records. These guys play a style somewhere along the lines of pelican, deerhoof, the snake trap etc...

Green Milk From The Planet Orange

City Calls Revolution


Gre en Milk From The Planet Orange are a 3 piece from Tokyo, Japan. One of my favorite live bands, who I also highly suggest everyone see if ever given a chance. GMFTPO are primarily a prog band, however to slap a label on them would be unjust. Fusing equal parts King Crimson, Isis, DMBQ, and Acid Mothers Temple, and creating something totally unique. great album to enjoy with a bowl
