 Saicobab channels the vital energy of living music traditions through ecstatic performance. ‘NRTYA’, Sanskrit for ‘dance’, explores the shared roots of Japanese and Indian spiritual practices in a tangible, intoxicating form.
 YoshimiO’s experiments in this field are well documented and legendary, from her work in OOIOO to her work in the Boredoms.
 Multi-instrumentalist Yoshida Daikiti reveals the human hand that shapes living traditions, as much through his fluid playing as his own collection of handmade instruments, while percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Motoyuki ‘Hama’ Hamamoto embodies the metaphysical power of rhythm.
 YoshimiO’s wild vocal acrobatics and inimitable range shift from hypnotic chants to ethereal atmospherics and darting melodies, ducking and weaving around Daikiti’s serpentine sitar figures and basslines.
 Hama’s solid rhythmic architectures and deft polyrhythms are here enhanced by additional drums from Taketawa Yo2ro, slipping from subtle pulses to thundering grooves that drive the music.
 Saicobab’s music exudes a true reverence for living musical traditions while remaining unbound by orthodoxy.
 The electrifying energy of the quartet’s performance is palpable in every track, eliminating established hierarchies with performer and listener alike entwined in the same cosmic dance.
 “Compelling, fun and really very strange.” - Uncut Magazine
 “In Japanese experimental psych pop, more often than not, YoshimiO has been a beacon.” - FADER (cover feature)
 LP available to independent retailers pressed on Opaque Grey coloured vinyl. Includes a digital download card.
