Makoto Kawabata, Richard Pinhas, Yoshida Tatsuya

Richard Pinhas is one of the most atypical French musicians of the last 40 years. His guitar playing sounds a bit like Sonny Sharrock's, with a kind of Sonic Youth treatment applied to it, yet his trademark effects reminiscent of the Heldon years can still be heard. Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple) who has been a big follower of Heldon, has also been a longtime friend and partner of Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins). So, naturally these 3 reunited in 2016 to record a series of fiery improvisations and experimentations. Free noise, blues and psychedelia are all intertwined. Repeated listenings will trigger memories of German psychedelia or even the more recent noise rock or no wave.
