Psychedelic Rock that's not Psychedelic Rock

According to the Wire article I found out about them in, it is "a long bamboo trunk strung with metal and bamboo string. Modelled on the valiha tube zither from Madagascar, it also has connections to stringed instruments found in remote corners of Indonesia. This is an amplified zither Wukir has fashioned himself and christened the bambuwukir. Musically it stretches from delicate harp filigree to rampaging percussion workouts, influenced by the hectic kuntulan drumming groups of East Java. It's the strings cut from the kin of the bamboo itself that generate Senyawa's powerful rhythmic patterns." So there you go.

Khun Narin is out touring the world now. Got this sent to me from their site, it's good.

Holy shit that is great. This happened so fast. Amazing times.

It seems like maybe something has shifted in their sound in this context—even from the record? But in a really really good way, like they are accenting the right rock tropes.

I want this recording.

yeah this is wonderful, really groovy

I think the big thing with the difference in the sound is just everything is miked up and mixed.

They have definitely upped the level of whoops and celebratory howls like they're Blueshammer.

I can't find any tour dates info online, can you post a link?

Don't know how extensive they are touring, but that video is from France. It's kinda wild how far they have come. Live the dream!

Big Ears Music Festival should book them and then I could go see them live.

There's still room on the Levitation Austin bill this year.

Interview! New album to come.
