That which will happen has long since taken place. It is impossible to make it undone.

After three years Suzuki Junzo returns to Utech Records with If I Die Before I Wake, his fourth full-length release for the label. Junzo is joined by Ikuro Takahashi of LSD March, Kousokuya, Fushitsusha and High Rise. If I Die is a record comprised of roaring space blues and empyrean haze. Nothing less than imposing and exquisite, If I Die is conceivably Suzuki Junzo’s greatest recorded work.

Released initially on cassette, the expanded vinyl and cd adds one unreleased track.

Utech Records offers If I Die Before I Wake as the label’s one hundredth official release. Accordingly, the first 100 copies of the LP will be on cream vinyl w/exclusive numbered art print and the remaining 200 copies on transparent green vinyl. The first 100 copies of the cd will be a special Japanese Tour Edition w/green obi, exclusive numbered art print and tour poster and the remaining 200 will be a standard edition w/black obi.

02 Les Visiteurs Du Soir // 悪魔が夜来る

Not the case with Junzo Suzuki’s La Course du lievre a travers les champs. Taking its name from the 1972 René Clément film And Hope to Die (which was itself adapted from one of Suzuki’s favorite noir novels, Black Friday), this album is a kind of lysergic folk heaven for fans of Japanoise.

Three long tracks float over a 45-minute reverie, and you wish it could go on forever. Channeling the spirit of his heroes (such as the late great Jutok Kaneko, who was a close friend, Hiroshi Nar, and others like Bill Fay and Gary Farr), Suzuki croons his pack-a-day lyrics through gorgeous waves of reverb in a way that just kills me. L’eau et les cicatrices builds in density toward a sustained, fed-back solo under ex-Fushitsusha/LSD Match/Kosoukuya drummer Ikuro Takahashi’s fluid yet restrained jazz beats.I’m out of superlatives. This is just a brilliant, brilliant album. 
So listenable and satisfying yet eccentric enough to keep you interested as well.

La Course du lievre a travers les champs // 狼は天使の匂い

Recorded live at The Grey Space in the Middle, Den Haag at the Antilounge 22 record release

live at antilounge 22 (24-11-18)

A short tune to celebrate the last days of summer... and to keep you awake for what's coming (winter, according to some, an excuse for warmth if you ask me - you'll find out when the time is right). Peace!
