Urichipangoon - Sen

Urichipangoon: a band whose second album released last year was hailed as the best pop album of the 2000's in Japan and who is also favored by the band Beirut. This is their first album, which is considered to be their origin. It is a masterpiece which the band prides itself on. Although the album was recorded entirely at home, it is a distorted mixture of various elements such as classical and ethnic music, sampling and live performance, computer and analog tapes, fairy tales and hums, contemporary and pop music, all contributing to a vast and unique world of Urichipangoon. However, such songs are all friendly to the ear, charming, and not at all difficult. This album is sure to re-configure the world's conventional music ecological system, broaden the form of Pop music and invite listeners to a utopia they have never known before. It may well be a futuristic folklore music that crosses it's path with the school of Free Folk centered around Animal Collective's label Paw Track. I am now certain that primeval times and the future are an Ouroboros. This music is like carefully digging up the Mongoloid's layers of history and reading the patterns of it's earthenware. I hope Urichipangoon will solve the mystery of the bronze vessel.
