Carbon Records
I dipped my comb in shochu and ran it through the hair of the night is the brand new release from the intriguing trio 番長 Taste, consisting of Mark Anderson (Greymouth/Mysteries of Love, New Zealand), Anthony Guerra (Love Chants/Mysteries of Love, Australia) and mysterious rocker ‘Mariyo’ (Japan). The name 番長 is pronounced ‘Bancho’, so the band name is Bancho Aji/Taste.
This release consists of 12 tracks, 6 tracks from the Carbon CD release Summer Nights, 2 tracks from the I Dischi Del Barone 7”, and 4 BRAND NEW UNRELEASED tracks! This is raw no-wave, free-noise awesomeness. Like if DNA did a surf record, and so perfectly crude, it makes Smashchords sound like Emerson Lake & Palmer in comparison.
Recorded in Tokyo, February 2009. Mastered by James Plotkin.
