2021 repress. "Suishou no Fune originated in Tokyo's fertile psychedelic scene. After landing a spot on PSF's Tokyo Flashback 5 and releasing Where the Spirits Are in 2006, the group ventured out from Japan and took every opportunity to play across the United States and Europe. During one of these trips in the spring of 2007, the group -- down to the crucial duo of Pirako and Kurenai -- went into a recording studio for a few days and laid down eight massive new tracks. Two tracks, chosen by the group -- 'Becoming a Flower' and 'Till We Meet Again' -- appear on this special vinyl edition. Much about Suishou no Fune has had to do with volume, but this new set of duets adds forays into starker songwriting and a languid serenity that works to make one feel as if it were necessary to hold one's breath through the entire album."

"Suishou No Fune [soo-ee-sho no foo-nay] was formed in 1999 by guitarists Pirako Kurenai and Kageo. They were quickly acknowledged in Japan for their unique take on Japanese psychedelic traditions but it wasn't until their inclusion on PSF's Tokyo Flashback Volume 5 that their international prominence began to grow. Heavy lyrical emotion transcends linguistic barriers and Pirako's blown-out fuzzy free-dream guitar work is an alternate universe psychedelic Japanese shoegaze. They are a forest at night drenched in echoing reverb and soaked with deeply spiritual/emotional melodies. Awash in waves of fuzz, Suishou No Fune's control of detail amidst chaos and heavy emotions is their deepest asset. Here's to the past. Here's to the future. Somewhere between Fushitsusha and Windy & Carl, there is Suishou No Fune."

"Formed in 1999 by the guitarist duo of Pirako Kurenai and Kageo in Tokyo, Japan. They quickly made a name for themselves in the underground music scenes and played throughout Tokyo with a 'who's who' list of musicians. The two players melded mind and influences to create what they have come to know as 'Magic Music.' This 'Magic Music,' while influenced by some of the biggest names in psychedelia from every decade, defies stereotype, and will lead you on a beautiful journey. This improv journey at times is as soothing as a stream, while other times it radiates with a chaotic beauty not often found in freeform music today. Writhing Underground Flowers is their first release since Where The Spirits Are on seminal label, Holy Mountain. All 3 tracks were fully improvised and showcase the duo's finest explorations. For those familiar with Suishou No Fune, you will be pleased with their continued psychedelic explorations. For those who are not, you will find their poetic beauty exploring the yin/yang of the world around them and within them. Magic music indeed."
