Imago Listening Club

Thanks UUG, never heard of those guys. A couple of friends and I have just started a little radio show playing non mainstream music from Japan, from the last few decades, it's been fun researching lot's of different crazy bands to play.

XXXP - wildo LJ, no worries :)

Yes indeed! Well, I might check out some of your solo votes. Everyone else, check out Re-TROS, a band only denied a place in this poll because they had the ghastly temerity to release more than one excellent song last year

Just so I'm not cluttering up the singles ballots thread - not sure if any of my other singles votes are particularly LJ-aligned apart from "The Doctrines Of Swedenborg" & "Que Du Bon", but there's a few bits & pieces you might find interesting:

i.e. crazy - non compos mentis (hysterical industrial folk)

https://muzai.bandcamp.com/album/non-compos-mentis

Some vaguely recent Chinese stuff that I'd cluster w/Re-TROS:

Beijing's Chui Wan:

https://chui-wan.bandcamp.com/album/chui-wan

Chengdu's STOLEN:

https://mimixingdong.bandcamp.com/

Shanghai's Mirrors:
https://separatemirrors.bandcamp.com/album/separate-reality

& if you squint a bunch you can vaguely compare this to Jute Gyte...

Shandong black metal band Zuriaake:

https://pestproductions.bandcamp.com/album/gu-yan-album

Also you probably saw Siegbran repping Lingua Ignota's two EPs, which are excellent.

whoa cheers for all this! let's dig in...

ok ie crazy is kind of wonderful

yeah that was really amazing. wish i'd discovered it before the albums poll deadline! ah well. really strong songwriting all the way through and a wickedly delirious atmosphere.

chui wan closing track 'beijing is sinking' was wonderful

mirrors seem fun, loved the 3rd track. they're one to watch. is there a thread for chinese psych?

diving into the zuriaake now...

It was very pleasant!

But yeah, i.e. crazy. Incredible. Would have threatened my top 5 if I'd known about it

Funnily enough, I'd been half-thinking of recommending you Baby Zionov's Henrietta but I unexpectedly stumbled across you repping it on Twitter! There's a nice out-of-flux-y scene in Auckland at the moment with lots of side projects (including their dungeon synth project Gayblade).

There's new i.e. crazy singles trickling out, and you might like Grecco Romank - acid-friend bogan industrial:

AHEM

https://tful282.bandcamp.com/album/strangers-from-the-universe

oh hello yes yes this is all nice. i have a sleeping ill person here but will check this all tomorrow

i am pals with Baby Zionov on RYM - been mutuals for about 5 years, v thrilled she is finally turning her taste in weird stuff into weird stuff

i forgot that this thread was where i learnt about i.e. crazy too. her new stuff is sounding killer, the comeback single had a great run on the latest peoples_pop poll too
