Improbable meeting between Junko Ueda, eminent figure of the Japanese medieval epic whose warm and deep voice comes to summon telluric energies, and the organic madness of the monster PoiL joyfully practicing cosmic rock without a net.
POIL UEDA blasts the limits of rock and world sound.
The two universes fit together and combine in perfect osmosis, through magic and respect for the “Ma (間)”.ment of filling potential. Here the musical and narrative time.
The album opens with Kujô-Shakujô, a Buddhist shômyô chant practiced by monks to ward off evil spirits. The second part of the album plunges us into the naval battle of Dan no Ura and the terrible decline of the imperial Heike clan against the Genji clan.
Junko's stories thus surf freely on a hairy tumult with precise and impolite pulses.
