YAHHO NO POTORI/LIMITED

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 core duo 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 toward delicate acoustic territories, the duo would release dozens of albums and singles, primarily self-released through their label Pong-Kong, which saw little distribution 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 toward traditional song-based structures. A touching document of joy, tenderness, and melancholy, Marcon's deft yet effortless playing establishes an elegant backdrop for Corman's voice to soar.
