Dhidalah - No Water (Guruguru Brain, January 27, 2017)

Another great release from Guruguru Brain. This time the offering is a 10" by Dhidalah, a psychedelic-rock trio from Tokyo made up of Ikuma Wakabe, Wahei Gotoh, and Konstantin Miyazaki. The group has a long history behind them: it was formed in 2007 when Ikuma left his previous band, Church of Misery, and the three put together this project inspired by the tradition of 1970s Jap acid rock, blending the sound with doom and space-rock elements. The 10" consists of two lengthy tracks, the first ("GRB") renewing the tradition of more acid rock sound experiences, while the second is more distinctive and unique in its use of percussion and keyboards, balancing between space rock and powerful destructive doom moments reminiscent of the mythical giant Daidarabotchi, after whom the group is named and who is said to have the strength to split mountains in two. In this regard, the intentions of this trio are perfectly evident.
