YAHHO NO POTORI

Description

A Colorful Storm presents the first vinyl edition of Yahho no Potori, a precious recording from one of the most beloved contemporary Japanese folk groups, Eddie Marcon. Composed of the main duo consisting of Eddie Corman and Jules Marcon, Eddie Marcon was formed in Himeji in 2001, following Corman's involvement in the noise-rock duo Coa and the legendary psychedelic group of Shinsuke Michishita, LSD March. Marking a stylistic shift towards delicate acoustic territories, the duo will release dozens of albums and singles, mostly self-produced through their label Pong-Kong, which have been little distributed outside of Japan. Recorded during a particularly humid summer and autumn, Yahho no Potori sees Eddie Marcon drifting from the delicate psychedelia of their first EP to traditional song-based structures. A touching document of joy, tenderness, and nostalgia, Marcon's skillful yet effortless piano provides an elegant backdrop for Corman's voice to soar. Eager yet confident, Corman breathes life into an intimate space adorned by the elegant instrumentation of Yashuhisa Mizatani, Yoriro Tatekawa, Ran Mizutani, and Saya Ueno, whose ingenious collaborative instinct has been offered to listeners through collectives such as Tenniscoats, Maher Shalal Hash Baz.
Fans of ambitious yet beautifully understated writing, as well as followers of Reiko and Tori Kudo, Nagisa Ni Te, and Ai Aso, will find much to love in Eddie Marcon's songs. An intense and devastating recording, A Colorful Storm is proud to breathe new life into a shimmering and underrated gem.
