Hailing from Tokyo’s always-vibrant 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 are bursting with action packed in ‘Weasels Ripped My Flesh’ style: crazy horn arrangements, wild guitar solos, constant movement, traversing sections, improvisation, surreality, and occasionally a peaceful wooded valley. With the whole album packed into 32 zig-zagging minutes, it is a compact and powerful debut statement for a young band bursting with ideas and much more under the hood. The monthly ‘De Lorians’ live shows also offer plenty of surprises. There is certainly a lot of improvisation, but on some nights, they disassemble the parts of their songs 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 precursors, less in 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, including Soya Nogami (guitar), Hyozo Shiratori (keyboards), and Genki Goto (bass). Taking its name from the SyZeuhl drummer from a classifieds site for musicians, the quintet quickly went to the races and beyond the track. \"Zappa is our God,\" says Ishida. But alongside that, the influences change enormously, with compositions bending under the influence of each musician. Shiratori plays singing saw and theremin sometimes. Nogami is a Khöömii singer, a form of Tuvan throat singing rich in harmonics. In a country where piracy and streaming have never hit the music industry, the members of ‘De Lorians’ form a kind of fundamental exchange of music that has largely disappeared elsewhere in the world. Ishida found a mention of Pharoah Sanders' ‘Karma’ LP while browsing in a bookstore, quickly picked up a copy, and transformed into a musician. But he also discovered that his local CD rental store had a well-curated spiritual jazz section and quickly explored the music of Alice Coltrane, Doug Carn, and others. But there is also psychedelic rock, cyberpunk, anime, memes, Pokemon, and everything else that has been discovered since this biography was written. But playing music almost full-time, for now, the biggest influence of ‘De Lorians’ is probably one another. Recorded at Tsubame studio in Tokyo in September 2018, ‘De Lorians’ is a 32-minute timeless device of high energy and barely controlled propulsion that will soon explode from a portal near you.","brand":"De Lorians","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55306914464088,"sku":null,"price":20190802.0,"currency_code":"EUR","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\/products\/de-lorians_de-lorians_2019_ber","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
