Boredoms - Chocolate Synthesizer


Let EYE and co. confound your mind.

"4th album from 1994. ...chocolate synthesiser was the boredoms second major-label album + while it bears little or no resemblance to their new stuff its absolutely essential listening & very much in the same ecstatic spirit. it's very raw but also sophisticated - blending elements of speed-core, punk (there seems to be a tribute of sorts to the electric eels at one point), dub, psychedelia, biker rock, the gross-out too-muchness of the butthole surfers at their lunatic best. Ace." - Boomkat

OOIOO - Taiga

OOIOO is an all female japanese ensemble that makes the floor shake by its powerful percussive and rhythmic feel. Rooting from the Boredoms crew (drummer Yoshimi P-We), these ladies have some awesome guitar-works and melodies backed up by chants and a rhythm section that would make Damo Suzuki go like 'woah'. The compositions are pretty long and they all sound very different. Jazzy, dance, chants, tribals, synths, steel-drums, drones, overlapping accordion delay. This album has it all... well kinda.
