Osaka three piece Hibushibire return after a long break, with a new line up and a stunning third album.

Following the successes of their debut album 'Freak Out Orgasm!' (2017), the follow up ‘Turn On, Tune In, Freak Out’ (2019) and two very well received UK tours. The band headed home to Osaka, Japan and then, the pandemic hit.

During this downtime, guitarist/vocalist Changchang decided to create a new power trio. Enter Tetsuji Toyoda (Bass/Vocals) & Aoi Hama (Drums/Vocals). The new trio have spent the last three years writing new music, playing live and honing their sound in Japan, and a short well received tour of Taiwan with Riot Season labelmates Dope Purple. And now finally, Hibushibire mark 2 is born properly.

“Hibushibire has returned after a change of members. A psychedelic, progressive work, suitable for a new beginning"

Entering the studio with Acid Mothers Temple/Mainliner guru Makoto Kawabata in the producer chair once again, the band recorded album number three, 'Magical Metamorphosis Third Eye’. Makoto also adds some of his own trademark guitar howls through out the album, perfectly complimenting Changchang’s own growing prowess.

Here the band have taken their trademark psych-rock blasts and blended them perfectly with some more trippy, dare I say sweet psychedelic sounds, which at times echo prime Gong on side two’s 20 minutes epic ‘Ayahuasca Witch Abduction’

“The idea of this album is based on the theme of "occultism and mysticism". But it's not a serious thing, it's about the things we like (UFOs, pyramids, psychic phenomena, shamanism etc) and we all had fun while making it. In terms of what makes it different from the previous Hibushibire albums, it’s where AOI HAMA's vocals are present. I had wanted to use a female vocalist for a long time, so it was a good feeling!”

Like the bands first two albums, 'Magical Metamorphosis Third Eye’ is very much an album of two halves. Side one again is full of killer shorter tracks, while side two is reserved for a blinding majestic 20 minute epic ‘Ayahuasca Witch Abduction’. Which I can’t wait to hear live.

Perhaps the biggest musical surprise here though is probably track two, the beautifully mellow tripped out ‘We Won't Go Back To The Past’, which sounds like it’s been beamed straight out of the late 60s/early 70s

The band also tip a nod to the Beatles psychedelic classic ‘Tomorrow Never Ever Knows’, but with their own twist of course.

It’s clear with the line up changes, Changchang has decided to expand the bands musical pathway, and he’s achieve stunning results.

The band plan to return to the UK and Europe in 2024 to see friends old and new.

The Light

Verse 1
WALKING AROUND UPSIDE DOWN
WITH M MEMORIES LONG GONE
MY BOYFRIEND, MY GIRLFRIEND AND PE OPLE AROUND
HAVE LEFT THE TOWN
STROLLING THE EMPTY STREETS AT NIGHT
THE CODE TO YOUR CELL THE KEY TO YOUR MIND
THE POWER OF NOW HAS NO TIME

Pre.C
WALKING BACK IN TEARS INTO THE WIND
WHEN THE FUTURES GONE WITH THE RISING SUN

Chorus:
SURE, THEIR COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER WAY
IF WE HELD THE TIDES
THEY COULD HAVE LIVED ANOTHER DAY
IF WE TOOK THE TIME

Verse 2:
IS MUTATION SO SURREAL? HAS THE FICTION BECOME REAL?
ISOLATE, SUFFOCATE WHEN ALIENATION TURNED INTO FATE
ORWELL HAS DESIGNED THE ROLES
NATURE WILL TICK THE ONES WHO WILL FALL
WILL SURVIVE 1984

Pre.C:
WALKING BACK IN TEARS INTO THE WIND
WHEN THE FUTURES GONE WITH THE RISING SUN
WALKING BACK IN TEARS INTO THE WIND
WHEN THE FUTURES GONE WITH THE RISING SUN

Chorus: 
SURE, THEIR COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER WAY
IF WE HELD THE TIDES
THEY COULD HAVE LIVED ANOTHER DAY
IF WE TOOK THE TIME

Bridge:
THEY WENT IN A SNEEZE
TAKEN BY THE BREEZE
I’LL REMEMBER YOU FOREVER
SPRINGS ETCH MEMORIES 
BLOSSOM IN THE TREES
I'LL REMEMBER YOU FOREVER

June 14th, what a prodigious day! 

We will be releasing Marcel Wave’s inaugural album ‘Something Looming’, packed with eulogies for tragic actresses, ancient riverbeds and concrete obscenity. Marcel Wave (featuring members of Cold Pumas & Sauna Youth) are part trades club symphony, part itchy serenade and part wistful lament. This heady concoction of ‘Meades meets Pat-E-Smith meets Kirklees Borough Council’ will be formally baptised on stage in London at the MOTH Club that very same day (June 14th) with an album launch (featuring The Pheromoans + LASH), now on sale.

Check out their first single ‘Barrow Boys’, a raucous ode to the death of the docklands. Out now digitally and available to study in this suitably wavy VHS promo: https://youtu.be/7Si1SslYnBU

‘Something Looming’ will be released on June 14th by Upset The Rhythm and Feel It Records (in the USA).

It is available to pre-order now on 180g black vinyl too: https://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/
