O Si Amos A Essere Duas Umbras?

Kawabata Makoto, leader of Japanese collective The Acid Mothers Temple, brings us his new album, "O Si Amos A Essere Duas Umbras?" The record is comprised of two epic, deeply meditative, spiritual, and transcendental compositions. Track one, "Ses Aintro ‘e mene finzas Si Ses In S'Atter'Ala E Su Mundu," is the very first solo track Kawabata has ever recorded on an acoustic guitar. Filtered through three reverb units and a single delay, this epic track starts off droning but quickly builds with reverb drenched and finger picked momentum light years away from any of Kawabata's solo guitar work. The second composition is the album's namesake. This deeply spiritual electric guitar drone -- also played through the reverb units and a single delay machine -- resonates deeply, seducing the listener into a meditative state.
