“I found this beauty in the treasure trove of weird and rare records that is
Forever Records. Besides the great band name what caught my eye about this
record was a blurb that said something about "punkish lounge music"
and a reference to the Lounge Lizards. I inquired further with Taro the owner
of Forever Records and Osaka's No.1 source on obscure music and he described it
as "junk jazz" and name dropped Tom Waits which was enough to make me
drop some cash on this mysterious find.
Turns out my intuition payed dividends.
Unfortunatley despite scowering the net I've managed to turn up almost no
information on the band so all I've got to go on are the scraps of info
contained in the liner notes. The band were (are...?) a Kyoto 5 piece (guit,
bass, drums, organ, sax) who as was promised play some excellent Tom
Waits-esque Junk Jazz. It seems most of the songs were composed by bassist
Shimizu Kosuke (Who now plays in accordion/contrabass duo Milk!Mama who are
also well worth checking out.) while the lyrics and vocals are handled by
Shiraishi Takahide. The vocals are mostly sung in a gravely, jibberish
approximation of what I asume is supposed to sound like English with occasional
sentences and phrases emerging from the cacophony of harsh, slightly off-tune
and out of time guitars, sax and clinking-clanking junkyard percussion.
"Life's too short to fuck your mom" is one that springs out from the
opening track "Bore Bore" a twisted, elephant man like bastardisation
of the Pink Panther theme. It's the exact sort of thing I can imagine Tom Waits
sitting around tapping his crusty, yellow tabacco stained toes to while sipping
on a bottle of illuminous green moonshine. You would be advised to do likewise.” ©
