― the late great, Sunday, 23 September 2012 23:07 (twelve years ago) link
which one should i relisten to to change my mind
Im listening to Taiga and it def feels like the diffuse, proggy one whereas Feather Float feels like the bright artpoppy record (even though it has its diffuse moments)
Gold and Green would be another one methinks to return to, but I dont like it as much outside of Grow Sound Tree & maybe Mountain Book

yamamoto = 山本 = ~"mountain" + "book"...
kinda weird tribute to her ex-bandmate I guess (by covering his song with no credit other than a thinly-veiled title change/tribute)?
anyhoozzz kinda related marginally, but great version for da fanzzz.

I just love "Be Sure to Loop", which is sort of my gold standard OOIOO for now at least, so Feather Float it is. I have fond memories of buying the first album for no reason other than I was enthralled with the cover art.

There's a new one! Sounds pretty cool:
OOIOO, band of the Boredoms' Yoshimi, has a new album out now. "Gamel" is built around the gamelan, a traditional Indonesian set of percussion instruments. The album was recorded by ZAK, a long time collaborator of bands such as Buffalo Daughter and The FIshmans.

maybe it's just me but there's kind of a slits-y vibe underpinning the gamelan stuff, esp. on that song xp

man, glad to see "Gold and Green" at the top. I kept trying to get into Feather Float, which is still great, but I always remember thinking Gold and Green provided better experiences overall.
I feel like these guys are really underrated, but I can't really say that because I haven't actually listened to that much. Need to get back on it.
― ,max,, Thursday, 3 July 2014 21:12 (ten years ago) link
I listened to raincoats odyshape right after this one the other day and that paired well. production is nice and airy and spacious on both of em.
vinyl is def a nice thing to have. even has those classy plastic sleeves for the individual records.
― original bgm, Thursday, 3 July 2014 22:07 (ten years ago) link
this is probably my favorite ooioo at this point. or maybe gold & green. but def one of those two.
― original bgm, Thursday, 3 July 2014 22:08 (ten years ago) link
Listening to "Gamel" on vinyl right now. NICE! Drum circle halfway through side "A", with chorus of people chanting "Twee twee twee" and some sick buzzed out high freq synth flying in and out like a little electric bird. Spaced out gamelan ambient stuff is nice too. I saw some gamelan a few years ago at Emory University and it was a pretty transcendental experience, so I feel like this record is going to be amazing.
You can't go wrong w OOIOO (or any of the Boredoms for that matter).

saw them two nights back at rough trade (with a j0n w!ll!ams and a whiney) and it was fuckin' awesome, one of the better shows of the year for me.

I been getting into this band a bit; rn I have Taiga, Feather Float, and Gold & Green on my phone. I think "Sai" from Taiga is my #1 fav standout track so far.

hey, i don't have any insights on the new material, but i thought i'd share a live set that i found on my personal google music library: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iFadbf5C7ttgcj7FbBL4EibM4wj10zb9
it was recorded in chicago in the fall of 2004, so it's mostly kila kila kila material. if i remember correctly, i downloaded it from the thrill jockey website when they used to have a whole page for free downloads — mostly just a free track from whatever a band's current album was, but sometimes more substantial / exclusive stuff like this live set. the songs are not split up; it's just two long tracks. it's really good. hope you enjoy.
