野流 / Yaryu - Estuary (造園計画 / Zouenkeikaku)


The Yaryu  release from a few weeks back went down well so I thought I’d give you a heads up about a new release from them. Often when a band drops two releases so close to each other, one is often content compromised, but I’m happy to report the quality and vibes are still strong.


This one is a bit more new age leaning, gone is the overt spiritual jazz of For Damage, to be replaced by more of a spiritual sound tapestry woven from improvisations by Takuro Okada, Wakana Ikeda (The Ratel) and their many headed collective. They barley seem to touch their instruments at times, the recordings are so peaceful and gentle, and when they do they mostly seem to consist of far flung ancient percussion, plant hewn wind instruments, heavenly strings and cosmic synths sprinkled with purloined temple bells and chimes. Saying that there is a minor collective flashback at the end of “Uchu Minyo“, but even that soon fades and everyone is sitting cross legged on the floor in no time like nothing happened.
