BILINDA BUTCHERS DEBUT AN ODE TO JAPANESE LOVE TRAGEDY |
Monday, 16 June 2014 00:00 |
San Francisco shoegaze pop trio The Bilinda Butchers are set to release their debut record titled 'Heaven' on Orchid Tapes (Ricky Eat Acid, Arrange, Foxes In Fiction). The dreamy first single, 'Edo Method' (Edo is Tokyo's former name) can be listened to below. The album itself is a concept based on a tale of forbidden love from the late Tokugawa Shogunate period of Japanese history. It's clear from the sound and tracklisting that the record has links with Japan written all over it with five appearances from Juri Nakashima. The Bilinda Butchers have long been fascinated by Japanese musical elements. There's also appearances from former Keep Shelly In Athens vocalist Sarah P. and Aaron Valenzuela (Harriet Brown). The vinyl is limited to white and to 250 copies. Get yours here.
"Heaven is the title of the diary written by Nakajima Ume, a young woman who lived in Japan from 1836 to 1864. It's entries catalog her catastrophic marriage to a cruel nobleman, and her later introduction to a young, idealistic poet whose expressions of sympathy inspire her to escape from her unfortunate circumstances.
