New Miminokoto present Psychedelic night of 1000 nights

Revealed in the name change, New Miminokoto has undergone a bit of a transformation, most notably by bringing in labyrinthine blues guitarist Junzo Suzuki as their leading figure. Their new album All About Mimi is now out on PSF records:

Another first release on PSF for Miminokoto, a Tokyo-based garage psychedelic rock trio who have previously released a string of acclaimed albums on the Alchemy, Gyuune, Siwa and Last Visible Dog labels. This is the group’s first album since Junzo Suzuki (20 Guilders, Astral Travelling Unity, ex Overhang Party) took over on vocals and guitar. The key to this group has always been their deep sense of song — a densely emotive core around which the songs surge, billow and break. That core is retained here with an even harder psychedelic edge to the guitar. Includes two covers of songs by the late Jutok Kaneko of Kousokuya. Forty minutes, seven tracks. - Alan Cummings
