Kimyō [LP]

Bon Odori - Kimyō [LP]

- Collaborative project of Patrick Shiroishi and Randall Taylor (Amulets) - Featuring Pauline Lay, Dylan Fujioka, Courtney Swain, and otay: onii. - For fans of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Pharoah Sanders, Swans, Grouper, William Basinski, Keiji Haino, Sunn O))), Stars of the Lid Bon Odori is the meeting point of Patrick Shiroishi's raw alto sax physicality and Randall Taylor's deeply intense ambient textures. Their debut album, Kimyō, was built at a distance, trading sounds and half-formed ideas over a few weeks. The music breathes unevenly—heavy chord changes, irregular rhythms, distorted guitar—collapsing finally into one dense, imploding mass. Brief, collective and quietly overwhelming. Breath of Heir (ft. Pauline Lay); Ruminator; As I Imagine Them (ft. Dylan Fujioka); Yellow And Barely There (ft. Courtney Swain); Creatures of Habit (ft. Dylan Fujioka); Borrowed Scenery; Lilium; The Weight We Carry (ft. otay::onii)
