Label: Tompkins Square

この機会をお見逃しなく!!既に高値で取引されている2024年の話題作が米Tompkins Squareより再プレス!!当店もオリジナルを入荷する事が叶わなかった、英激ヤバレーベルFolklore Tapesの姉妹的(?)レーベルHood Faireが2024年の末に発表した異色の激ヤバ物件。なんと自身で木の枝から作り上げたDIY弓弾き弦楽器を用い、フルート、パーカッションと合わせ演奏する謎作家Thorn WychのデビューLP。"ヨハネの秘密の書"、また1940年の映画"バグダッドの盗賊"のからのインスピレーションを反映させた非常に奇怪な音楽性を披露、意味不明な言語で歌われる歌唱、恐らくほぼ即興と思われる感覚的奔放演奏が入り混じる、怪しさ満載のカルト傑作。









Thorn Wych makes instruments from tree branches; bowed strings, flutes and percussion that she runs through a chain of loopers, pitch bending glitches and delay pedals. Strange songs sung in tongues, mashed up chewed and spat out. As the adder weaves her way through the dirt and mycelium hum, we play in the mud and converse with insects.

'Aesthesis' is Thorn Wych's debut LP that she recorded and mixed herself at home, often performing long improvised pieces, then later editing them down, cutting and pasting and overlaying other instruments.
This album takes inspiration from such works as 'The Secret Book of John', the 1940 film 'The Thief of Bagdad', and Lata Mangeshkar's 'Meera Bhajans'. She dedicates her work to the Divine Mother Asherah, Holy Spirit, Guardian of the Tree of Life.
