about

Announcing the new album ‘Boiled Moon’ from acclaimed Bristol-based psych/art-rock outfit Yama Warashi.

Inspired by Japanese folk dance, free jazz and tribal African music - and heavily saturated in psychedelia - Yama Warashi’s songs are lyrically outlandish and charming, melodically addictive and mythical.

Yama Warashi is the project of Yoshino Shigihara, a Japanese musician and visual artist whose past projects include erstwhile cult favourites Zun Zun Egui (Bella Union). The band name translates from Shigihara’s native tongue as “small childlike mountain spirit”.

Originally from Ashiya city, near Osaka, multi-instrumentalist Yoshino Shigihara discovered her love of playing piano aged three, kicking off a lifelong musical curiosity. After a period of exploring other artistic avenues, she picked up the piano again on moving to Bristol and finding herself brimming once again with inspiration.

Following the success of their early releases, in 2017 Yama Warashi were awarded funding from the PRS Foundation, and they recorded their new album with Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, M.Ward, Perfume Genius) at Toybox Studios; they have hit upon a truly unique and impactful sound that sees Shigihara taking major leaps in compositional complexity, songwriting and artistic freedom, backed by an impressive and close-knit ensemble of talent.
Co-released with our friends from Small Pond.

Hashshashin's music is a bold fusion of sound and style, excitingly blending power with finesse to create sounds from another world. Urgent compositions possessing thunderous speed are swiftly countered by moody passages where darkness lies – each track attracts with unique attributes. Michael Reilly

incredible ep and outstanding musichanship, this is really inspiring, the way Istrumental (adj.) play with rhythm is really engaging and I'm loving the slightly more midwest emo vibe on these tracks. Gata Vrangr

Years Under Glass
by Bear the Mammoth

supported by 4 fans who also own “Boiled Moon”

I like the stylistic dialogue between this and Yamadori, which appear to me as an expansive study on contrasts, while Years Under Glass is like a subtle, nuanced etching examining harmony and balance, denser and more spiritually distinctive, and the album artwork captures that aptly. It's amazing how it plays with genre tropes, with an amount of this spontaneous, intuitive dynamics and rhythmic power most of the bands don't possess. Thank you for your art guys! Much love from Ukraine :) Terrence Falconer
