The two-piece rock band Taika's 3rd album 'On Chitou Jichi', originally released in 2023, is now available on vinyl. The album's folkloric vocals and krautrock-inspired repetition swirl together with environmental sounds, creating an immersive atmosphere. The interplay between the post-Fourth World Revival soundscapes and the raw, earthy physicality rooted deep within the music blurs the line between the nostalgic and the novel, each reflecting echoes of the other.In this album, Taika explores the residual sense of 'foreignness' within the now-commonplace rock band format in Japan, re-examining it and injecting new possibilities for 'translation' and reinterpretation into those gaps.This release includes a large poster-style lyric sheet. Additionally, it comes with a download code for the digital version of 'On Chitou Jichi,' as well as a code for a destructive remix of Taika's track 'Kouraku Biyori' by the up-and-coming dub techno artist Yo, who is signed to Taika's independent label, Zoen Keikaku.
