Big big record out today and one of our all-time holy grails, the genuinely epic 3LP debut from Japanese underground rock phenomenon Maher Shalal Hash Baz on Osaka’s cult label Org Records.
Led by the charismatic Tori Kudo, Maher Shalal Hash Baz is a rotating assembly that grew out of tiny underground live houses, much like Shinji Shibayama’s Hallelujahs group, Keiji Haino, the Pinakotheca label, P.S.F, Cragale - the list goes on. The naive sort of psych, sort of chamber music, sort of pop sound doesn’t really sound like anything else, there’s an endearing almost calculated wrongness to everything where it feels like the musicians are just enjoying themselves in the moment and inviting you along for the ride. Clearly in it for the art and unconcerned with mainstream success, this debut ‘Return Visit To Rockness’ clocks in at almost 3 hours in length and is a record you can exist within entirely, totally wrapped in warm, fuzzy cotton wool totally oblivious to the outside world. We’re always searching for artists that create their create their own microcosm, Maher Shalal Hash Baz do that better than anyone. (NM/NM - 3LP with inserts and live flyer - NO outer box)
