Product DESCRIPTION

Release Date: 04/04/2025

Yaryu, The sound of the autoharp reminiscent of Laraaji and the elegance of Hozan Yamamoto. Psychedelic spirituality meets Asian physicality. The cassette tape of the first album 'Bonraku' by Noryu, an amorphous group of musicians whose members change like a circulating river, has been repressed with a new jacket. The sound of the autoharp sweeping across the grid calls back to the freshness and wildness of 1970s electronic music, while it's soft tone is suited to the Japanese residential environment, and is sensitive to the lush plants and insects growing in the garden. The repress version comes with a download code for the unreleased collection of tracks recorded by Noryu during the production of Bonraku, 'Kemonomichi. ' The raw, pure, and innocent performance that can be heard in 'Kemonomichi' is a different 'path' from the comfort of Bonraku, and is connected to the core of the Noryu group. The sound of the autoharp reminded of Laraaji and the elegance akin to Houzan Yamamoto. A meeting of psychedelic spirituality and Asian physicality. Like a river that repeats it's cycle, the ever-changing members of the amorphous musical collective Yaryu have their 1st album 'Bongaku' repressed on cassette tape with a newly designed jacket. The autoharp's tones, which wash away the grid, harken back to the electronic music of the 70s, which combined freshness and wildness, while sensitively resonating with the plants and insects growing in the garden, suitable for the Japanese residential environment. The repressed version includes a download code for the unreleased track collection 'Wild Path,' which compiles tracks recorded by Yaryu during the production of 'Bongaku. ' The raw yet pure and fresh performances that can be heard in 'Wild Path' connect to the core of the group Yaryu, offering a different 'path' from the comfort of 'Bongaku. ' LISTEN: https://open.
