friend put me on to various krautrock/kosmiche bands in preparation for a band we're trying to get together, standout for me was yeti by amon duul ii! the band came up from a student-led art commune in munich in the 60s, split with itself (hence amon duul ii instead of just amon duul), released a handful of albums, and broke up in a dozen years. i love leftists.
anyway. good album. big fan of the longer-form improv freakouts on the back half.



this week i've been rockin heavy w walrus, a japanese shoegaze band, and their record 光のカケラ (fragment of light? according to google translate, help me out here). the tab i had this open in was fermenting for months as one of my 100+ tabs of "music to check out" so i do not remember how i found this even a little bit, i thought i got it from this also-great bandcamp article (shoutout blue smiley!) but they're not mentioned at all. a mystery! good album tho!
