Bo Ningen
Koroshitai Kimochi

This record left our Business Lady feeling happy.

Finally got the CD version of Japa-noise quartet Bo Ningen's ace debut, Koroshitai Kimochi. Originally available on 10", we couldn't review it as it was so elaborately packaged we could get into it without tainting the product. Well, finally I can give it a spin and boy oh boy am I a happy lad. Abrasive, almost psychedelic guitar phrases bounce of post-punk style grooves accompanied by the obligatory snappy Melt Banana-esque vocal attack. As with all good Japanese party bands Bo Ningen are keen to exploit hitherto forgotten or ignored musical genres, in this case the strange middle ground between prog and noise rock that is often explored by King Crimson. Loud, unbelievably precise and very satisfying stuff.

What their label says...

The debut, four-track, 10in vinyl release from the Japanese quartet Bo Ningen sprays action-painted psychedelic guitar splatter over choppy post-punk riffs, with nods to the improvisatory ethos that always nibbles at the fringes of all the best Japa-noise music. Impossible speed meets unbelievable precision. Vast slabs of sound thread delicate pathways. The third track, Atami, a seven-minute progressive-rock-flavoured ballad with shades of the Mars Volta and Smashing Pumpkins, laments the titular seaside resort, once popular, but now largely deserted, and pitches towards a more melodic, contemplative middle ground without sacrificing Bo Ningen’s dignity.- Stewart Lee, Sunday Times
