First
thing I’ve heard from this possible Acid Mothers Temple extension
from some time; quality psychedelic soul rattling cage treatises on
X-ray vision from an exceptional pair of guitarists. Opening up with
the elegiac “Howlin’ Tsuchy (Wolf Prayer),” a
blistering, tremeloed duo to the sunrise, things kick into some bad
politics with “The Soul of a Mountain Wolf (High Rise),”
boppin’ along to minimal drumming and a steadily mounting guitar
assault that runs a blistering lead up into the atmosphere, payloaded
with geltabs meant to pierce a cloud and rain lysergic tempests into
the slackjawed mouths of us onlookers below. “Moanin’ After
Eight (Underground Speed Blues)” closes this thing out with the
sorta Afflicted Man punk-through-psych guitar lead sojourn that makes
everything alright. The artist offers up a Buñuel quote,
dedicates the record to Howlin’ Wolf – more records should
be – and thanks High Rise’s Nanjo Asahito, who quite
frankly is not thanked enough. Another Fractal heater, sorry it took so
long to cover it.
