Thrill Jockey is pleased to announce the arrival of Armonico Hewa, OOIOO's sixth full-length album and first record in over three years! Armonico Hewa continues the rapturous and frenetic celebration of nature that coursed through the veins of their 2006 album Taiga. Where as Taiga meant "forest" in Russian and "big river" in Japanese, Armonico Hewa is a combination of words ("armonico" is Spanish and "hewa" is Swahili) that is defined by the band as "air in a harmonious state." Like the cross-cultural title, Armonico Hewa is a mind-melting combination of stylistic reference points that can only be described as some kind of tribal psychedelia that is oddly spiritual and alarmingly urgent.
