Back in 2007, the Tokyo-based duo known as
Suishou no Fune visited San Francisco, and during their stay
participated in a recording session with old friends Mason Jones and
Mike Shoun, who were operating under the name Numinous Eye. That
session was released in a very small edition several years later by
the Essence Music label from Brazil as "Black Flowers Of The
Forest In The Cosmos". When Suishou no Fune were planning their
latest trip to San Francisco in May of 2018, as part of filming for a
documentary, plans were made for a follow-up recording. The quartet
crammed themselves into a small rehearsal space, along with two guests
who filmed the proceedings, and spent the afternoon creating dark,
heavy psychedelic atmospheres.
Pirako and Kageo, on high-end and low-end
guitar respectively, have an uncanny way of melding inner-space
psychedelic drone with free-form guitar lines and spiritual sonic
flow. Suishou no Fune has been a key part of Japan's scene for two
decades now, playing as a duo as well as in extended format with drums
and bass. San Francisco's Numinous Eye, started by guitarist Mason
Jones after parting ways with his previous band SubArachnoid Space,
has released a string of albums bridging noise-drone with psychedelic
rock. Prime collaborator Mike Shoun, on drums and synthesizers, has
also played with Thee Oh Sees, Peacers, and many others.
Noise Birds, as a trio of guitars driven
by drums, demonstrates a cohesive vision and melding of minds as the
layers of sound shift around each other. Improvised together on the
spot, these songs ebb and flow as the players communicate without
words, focused on working together with the goal of taking the music
as far in, and out, as possible. This is music as speech, as
collaboration, as friends coming together across an ocean to express
themselves as one, presented here for everyone else to hear and enjoy.
The Noise Birds are : Pirako (guitar),
Kageo (guitar), Mason Jones (guitar), Mike Shoun (drums)
For fans of : Suishou no Fune, Bardo Pond,
