Suishou No Fune / About Suishou No Fune
| < Profile > SUISHOU NO FUNE was formed by Pirako Kurenai and Kageo in Tokyo,1999. Their style is floating and dreamy Japanease Psychedelic Rock! The basics of their music are formed by the sound of a guitar duo. The artistic sound is psychedelic; twin guitars work full of sensitivity and freedom that is not bound by stereotype. They treat the spirit that dwells in the words and poetry with respect; a spiritual performance in resonance with these vibrations. Their performances and albums are performed partially as a duo and partially as a full band. Their duo style mainly receives inspiration from free style playing found among Japanese and foreign performers. As a duo, they sing songs adlib, influenced by the atmosphere of the land and sound, words, poetry, memory. Their band style is rock in a style that sets poetry to music based on improvised lyrics. The musicality of both styles ranges from minimal and ambient to loud. You will enjoy the sound of the Japanese lyrics and their psychedelic world, even if you don't understand Japanese. |
