Emerging from Tokyo’s ever-busy music scene and led by Takefumi Ishida, who plays sax and synth, the five 'De Lorians' contribute to what they call pataphysical music. The seven tracks here overflow with action packed with 'Weasels Ripped My Flesh' style: crazy horn arrangements, wild guitar solos, constant motion, crossed sections, improvisation, surrealism and occasionally a peaceful wooded valley. With the whole album packed into 32 zigzagging minutes, it’s a compact and powerful first statement from a young band bursting with ideas and a lot more under the hood. 'De Lorians' monthly concerts also offer plenty of surprises. There is certainly a lot of improvisation, but some nights, they dismantle the parts of their songs to turn them into new suites that can last longer than their studio debut. Between the ages of 22 and 27, the five De Lorians draw from a library of ideas from their predecessors, less out of retro-loving emulation than for alchemical strategy. With the idea of forming a Canterbury-style jazz-rock collective, Ishida brought the band together in 2016 with like-minded musicians, notably Soya Nogami (guitar), Hyozo Shiratori (keyboards) and Genki Goto (bass). Taking its name from the drummer SyZeuhl from a musicians’ classifieds site, the quintet quickly headed for the races and beyond the track. “Zappa is our God,” says Ishida. But alongside that, the influences change enormously, with the compositions bending under the influence of each musician. Shiratori plays while singing saw and theremin sometimes. Nogami is a Khöömii singer, a form of Tuvan singing rich in harmonics. In a country where piracy and streaming have never hit the music industry, the members of 'De Lorians' represent a kind of fundamental exchange of music that has largely disappeared elsewhere in the world. Ishida found a mention of Pharoah Sanders’ LP 'Karma' while browsing in a bookstore, quickly picked up a copy and became a musician. But he also discovered that his local CD rental shop had a well-organized spiritual jazz section and quickly explored the music of Alice Coltrane, Doug Carn and others. But there is also psychedelic rock, cyberpunk, 'animes', memes, Pokemon and everything that has been discovered since this biography was written. But by playing music almost full-time, for now, the biggest influence on 'De Lorians' is probably both one and the other. Recorded at Tsubame Studio in Tokyo in September 2018, 'De Lorians' is a timeless 32-minute device of high energy and barely controlled propulsion, which will soon explode from a portal near you.","brand":"De Lorians","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55306914464088,"sku":null,"price":23378848.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0857387005766_dde9315c-fba0-4e62-a10c-71f43336e335.jpg?v=1760294719","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/de-lorians_de-lorians_2019_ber","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
