Horaflora "No Roof Is High Enough" (2:30 of each side, back to back)

Lullabies For Insomniacs is pleased to present Yasuo Sugibayashi and The Mask Of The Imperial Family; a compilation of music from Mimic Records 1980-1982.

Yasuo began his musical journey playing guitar in a high school band, in 1980 after moving to Tokyo and immersing himself in various musical groups he founded Mimic Records. Inspired heavily by the art movements of the late 1970's, in particular the innovations of Brian Eno and David Cunningham he purchased a Roland System 100M. He was in search of a sound and the synthesizer had great potential. Simultaneously he had started experimenting with tape, playing with the tactility of the medium so he could understand how to best adapt it for his pieces. 

Yasuo explored ancient ethnic music and wanted to combine his influences with  daily experiences of city life. The short lived Mimic records was home to three of his solo releases, a self titled LP and two 7 inches, shortly after this period Yasuo went on to pursue other musical projects, in 1985 he was a founding member of the band Qujila which is still active today. 

"Both profound and profoundly jaw dropping, the esoteric moves of this massively rare and insanely obscure 300 copy Japanese marvel have until now remained the sole preserve of a handful of heavyweight collectors. It's time to let the cat out of the bag on this one. The dankly cavernous and unsettling acid maneuvers of Dome circa their first three LP's (though absent vocals) are the nearest antecedent I can summon for the principal thrust of the sound here. So too, there's a ritualistic dimension to this stuff thats also a bit suggestive of something like Vasilisk or The Hybryds, though the arcane initiatory atmosphere here is far more penetrating that anything I've heard either of those two muster. Combine that with a Johan Hedran-like overlay of wafting, heat-warped systemic electronics and your at least in the general neighborhood, but these are only indicators pointing toward the occult sonic universe that The Mask Of The Imperial Family are enacting..."

Yasuo Sugibayashi - The Mask Of The Imperial Family (LFI 007 preview)

Vanligt Folk is a non ordinary trio based in Oslo and Gothenburg. This Scandinavian hope might just be what we all need to stay sane. They have their own sound,  their own kingdom that draws inspiration from dub and electronic body music but that's only me guessing. They might just be as inspired by Palle Bondo whoever that is.

300 copies are made. White vinyl. Digitalism will be available too for those who are into that. Available in November 30th 2017.

``I can't feel anything, but you inside of me
It's nothing physical, It's only mentally
I can't eat anything, because you're inside me
I feel fulfilled with you, with you inside of me

I can't do anything, without you inside me
It's not that I don't do a thing
In my mind, you're always here with me

I don't need anything, with you inside of me
I'm completely satisfied, with what you bring to me
I can't sleep anymore, though, day and night I dream
In my dreams, it's only you and me

I can't feel anything, but you inside me
In my dreams, there's only you and me
It can't be mutual, because you are my dream
Impossible for you to feel for me, what I feel for thee

No matter where I look, only you I see
Even when my eyes are closed,
I see you inside me
I don't love you the most, I love you, only``

nothing physical

Nika Son presents a radiophonic submersion into oceanic rasp and heave, meshes of synth tones, and displaced voices that intone a dismembered, claustrophobic sea story. Released as an edition of 50 pro-dubbed cassettes.

LP (E248)

“Fallen Star”

Marc Behrens presents six extended surrealist songs ranging
from psycho rock to dismantled R&B, crossing into doom jazz
and spoken word. Animal field recordings; electronic boom
and buzz; synths; detuned sitar; violins played by Portuguese
master musician Carlos Zingaro. None of this is in any way
what you would expect.
