TIP OF THE WEEK 43/23: OBOO / Weiches Loch - Metalo Ritmo Frakaso LP

We have few copies of this very nice split 12" from Japan, released by new label La Muro Mia Muro. 

OBOO is a Japanese experimental duo with bass, vocals and with a hint of electronics.

Weiches Loch is a Japanese+Finnish percussive industrial unit that combines traditional Japanese percussive music with junk industrial noise. I was familiar with this band because of the excellent 'Live At Hokage' live tape, and one member is Jere Kilpinen, a.k.a. Junkyard Shaman from Finland.

Both sides complement each other perfectly. It's not harsh noise but a very cool, organic, thundering rhythm fest that reaches noisy atmospheres. The A side is more like a cantering herd of horses, while the B side is more like a steam train on a railway. The recording sounds good with deep bass, and the vinyl has a nice sound quality, running at 45rpm.
