Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in February 2013, the album channels a unique convergence of traditional Indonesian instrumentation and avant-garde sensibilities. The ensemble, led by Boredoms percussionist Yoshimio, crafted the intricate compositions around the resonating bronze keys of the Javanese gamelan, integrating ritualistic polyrhythms with swirling neo-psychedelic rock structures.
