“Martinique Post Office” (by Hiiragi Fukuda)

Hiiragi Fukuda's 2nd solo album. released on cassette tape from Belgium's "Sloow Tapes". ltd 90 copies (SOLD OUT!).

New late night nomadic travels by Hiiragi Fukuda (Doronco Gumo), who’s ‘Oya wa Touhoku, Oto Kumoi’ turned quite a few heads. ‘My Turntable is Slow’ mixes pop and psychedelia to new highs by way of Tokyo delay. These songs are like dancing shadows reflected in opium clouded jade. (sloow tapes)

Edition of 90 copies cassette from Hiragi Fukuda of Japanese underground group Doronco Gumo. This is more dosed and heavier on the acid folk vibe than his previous Oya Wa Touhoku, Oto Kumori with a great early-70s private/loner edge complete with echo vocals, comedown acoustic guitars and some stinging lead. Aspects of Masaki Batoh’s Ghost From The Darkened Sea but with a more progressive/rock feel alongside some classic Syd Barrett-isms make for a perfect late-night slow burner. (volcanic tongue)

lovely quiet/storm contempo-psych from hiiragi fukuda & company (Mimaroglu)

Auf 44 Minuten bietet "My Turntable Is Slow" eine feine und in ihrer Entspanntheit ansteckende Ideensammlung. Für die manchmal etwas monotonen Parts auf Seite B entschädigen Songs wie "Martinique Post Office" oder "Down A Dirt Road" mit sehr viel Atmosphäre. Zum wohligen Genießen der letzten Urlaubstage!
