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.

Gang Gang Dance - God's Money

I was having trouble coming up with something to write about this album so I asked a few friends what they thought about it. Here were their opinions:

Arnaldo (AJ Davila, Maxine Hi-Fi, ext..):

"Papiii la demenciaaaaaa."

Jose (revkunin):

"Drum music for hipsters instead of hippies." (note: It may not sound like it but Rev does like the album.)

Kemuel (Sandunga Cat):

"The Residents meet Buffy St Marie on a tiki hut."

If you still don't have an idea what this sounds like just listen to it and figure out for yourself.
