MIMINOKOTO Put out their New Album! from plunk's plan JPN!
MIMINOKOTO / Chofu-Ekoda-Koenji [plunk's plan/ppcd002/CD/2010]


Great set of variously-compiled live tracks from the new Miminokoto led by guitarist/vocalist Suzuki Junko. Pretty much *the* archetypal Japanese underground garage band, Junzo's leadership has consolidated their take on post-Kousokuya death/doom blues and celestial guitar. The languorous, stoned pace of some of the ballads is as world-devouring as your favourite Tokyo black hole, given further emphasis by a definitive reading of the late Jutok Kaneko's “Farside Of The Dream”. Bassist Takuya Nishimura served time with Che-SHIZU and Maher Shalal Hash Baz while drummer Koji Shimura played in White Heaven, High Rise and Mainliner and they have that stately/collapsing rhythm section style down to a nod. Junzo can swallow planets just as easily as Masami Kawaguchi and his blasted vocal style does much to tease the songs apart, blowing holes in the rock/roll fabric that are wide enough to reverse ten minute solos through. Fantastic. On Junzo's own label.

New Miminokoto / ALL About MIMI [from PSF Records / PSFD188/CD/2009]
..

Woah ? some kinda upheaval in the ranks of Miminokoto results in the replacement of Masami Kawaguchi with Suzuki Junzo (Astral Travelling Unit/Overhang Party) on guitar and vocals and then they only go and cut an unbelievable album for PSF with no less than two (!) cover versions of Kousokuya tracks penned by the late Jutok Kaneko. To say that this is precisely my kinda deal is state the bleeding obvious. One of the things that always made Miminokoto stand out was the languorous, sun-swallowing vocal style of Kawaguchi and Junzo does a great job of approximating his post-Jim Morrison style.
Of course no one can play Kaneko material with quite the brokedown gravity of Kaneko himself but these fantastic re-thinks (of “Hour Of Death” and “Farside Of The Dream” specifically) demonstrate what a fantastic and talented composer he was. Still miss him. Miminokoto's own tracks are totally classic and they have the feel of an earlier generation of PSF artists, with doomy death-decadent ballads soaked in reverb while single chords hang in the air and Junzo's vocals waft around them like smoke. The lead guitar work is totally thrilling and the rhythm section of bassist Takuya Nishimura and drummer Koji Shimura have that classic minimal/explosive style down to a teardrop. A classic PSF side, an amazing reinvention, this is the sound of the psychedelic Japanese underground. Highly recommended.
