The self titled debut album by Japanese trio O-Mandroid, the new project from Kawabata Makoto & Nani of Acid Mothers Temple fame along with Hamachang from Blond New Half who did that recent split 7″ with Hibushibire is coming out on Riot Season Records on September 29th, 2023.
It’s hard to describe this LP. but i’ll try, it’s Avant-Garde, Proggy, Noise Rock. In fact some of it reminds me of the old AMT style circa “Absolutely Freak Out” etc
Limited to 250 copies, all pressed on lush purple ‘silk‘ coloured vinyl. Yum!
All music and words were improvised though, the sound is like composed Psychedelic & Progressive Rock / late 70’s – early 80’s Post-Punk / Japanese underground Experimental, etc.
