わたぼうし (Wataboshi) – わたぼうし (full album, private press)

Подробнее о видео

genre: psychedelic folk
year: 1979
label: none (UGD-291)

this record is featured in the Wonder Ground Record Book by Branco Label.
here we go with another extremely rare lo-fi folk private press from Japan, graciously provided by my friend Brushed Aluminum and then cleaned by me.

like all one-off folk bands featured in the Wonder Ground book, this one is similarly lacking any information on it. it's almost entirely very striking psych folk with female vocalists. all members of the band are women, and they provide one some of the best songwriting chops in the private folk scene by far. it's not known how many copies of this album were pressed but it's highly sought after and a masterpiece of its genre. the album sounds like it was recorded over multiple live sessions because of the varying levels of fidelity between songs, though a large portion of it is very lo-fi.

this is where i'd tell you to support the artists but you literally can't. just enjoy the music, that's as much as we can do :')
