 Yura Yura Teikoku Most people are probably familiar with Tokyo psych/rock trio Yura Yura Teikoku from their heavy appearance on PSF's TOKYO FLASHBACK 2, but there's a whole lot more to them than straight-ahead riff pummelling as this batch of now-out-of-print vinyl from the group makes more than clear. TAIYOU NO SHIROI KONA is a 10" 33rpm mini-LP from 1999 produced and recorded by You Ishihara of White Heaven/Stars at Soichiro Nakamura of White Heaven's legendary Peace Music studio. Yura Yura Teikoku bassist Chiyo Kamekawa is also a member of The Stars. A-side is the kind of avant-pop that wouldn't sound out of place somewhere in the Org back catalogue while over on the B the group up the hard glam/new wave tension with some Rallizes-styled acid rock gush. The group thank floating member Michio Kurihara in the notes. White vinyl with insert, limited copies. Highly recommended.
