Kawabata Makoto/ Anla Courtis/ Rokugenkin - Kokura

Kokura by Kawabata Makoto/ Anla Courtis/ Rokugenkin

4...according to our on Sun 19 Nov, 2006.

Undergound Japanese guitar business anyone? Just in on Riot Season is 'Kokura' which is a collaboration between Kawabata Makoto (Acid Mothers Temple), Anla Courtis (Reynols), and Rokugenkin. This is three men all armed with electric guitars and cerebal cortex's. This is dark, droney and noisey in places and is a one off limited pressing of 400 copies. Like some ancient Japanese ritual interpreted through guitar. Interesting, challenging and thought provoking music. Class.

'Kokura' was recorded under dark skies and howling winds, deep in the bowels of a Japanese club as the country shook outside. Recorded last year on a short tour of Japan, 'Kokura' is the fruits of a live collaboration between Acid Mothers Temple / Mainliner main man KAWABATA MAKOTO, Argentinean guitarist ANLA COURTIS (Reynols) and Japanese underground musician ROKUGENKIN. Based around hushed, mellow drones and hypnotic, yet restrained guitar wails, 'Kokura' is the first fruits of their labours and captures the sound of life beneath a hurricane.
