| PoiL Ueda — Self Titled PoiL Ueda is the result of a collaboration between Junko Ueda, a vocalist and satsuma-biwa player from Japan, and PoiL, a French rock/contemporary music band. Their mesmerizing and one of a kind first album will be released on March 3, 2023 via Dur et Doux. Unexpected encounter between Junko Ueda, eminent figure of the Japanese medieval epic storytelling, whose warm and profound voice summons the terrestrial energies, and the organic madness of the monster PoiL practicing with cosmic rock without net. Poil Ueda detonnates the limits of rock and world music. By the magic and respect of the "Ma (間), " the two universes mesh and converge in perfect osmosis. The album opens with Kujô-Shakujô, a Buddhist shômyô chant practiced by monks to ward off evil spirits. The second part of the album plunges us into the naval battle of Dan no Ura and the grievous decline of the imperial Heike clan facing the Genji clan. Junko's stories surf freely on PoiL's tumultuous wave pulsing with brashness and precision. write your comments about the article :: © 2022 Jazz News :: home page |
