All Time Low present an evening of aural mysticism and sono-spiritual immersion with a very special solo folk set from Masaki Batoh (Ghost), the transcendental frequencies of High Wolf, ghost blues from Junzo Suzuki (Overhang Party, Miminokoto, etc), and an ever changing sound experience somewhere between free jazz, drone and musique concrete from Tomaga.
Please note that unfortunately Zomes have had to cancel their UK tour and will not be performing at this show. Please contact We Got Tickets with any refund enquiries.
All Time Low Presents:
MASAKI BATOH
Masaki Batoh - perhaps best known as the singer and guitarist for legendary Japanese psych folk ensemble GHOST - presents a very special solo acoustic song set. Taking a step aside from his hypnotic Brain Pulse Music set-up, Batoh will perform a solo acoustic guitar and vocal set in a simple folk style. This will be the only performance of this kind on his European tour and should be an unmissable opportunity to see Masaki Batoh channel the haunted psychedlics of Ghost in a stark and stripped-down setting.
MASAKI BATOH : US & UK FOLK MIX by The Voice Of Cassandre on Mixcloud
Junzo Suzuki is a Japanese guitarist/vocalist perhaps best known for his involvement in the underground psych bands Overhang Party and Miminokoto. His solo music is stripped down form of 'ghost' blues and improvisation that recalls Loren Connors and his fellow countryman Hisato Higuchi.
His second full length CD 'Buried Sky, Spider Torn to Pieces' has just come out on Junzo's own Plunk's Plan label. He also performs with 20 Guilders, Nasca Car, Pouring High Water and Samm Bennett's Ghost Steppers.
"Some of [Suzuki's] convulsive six-string punctuation touches on the ferocious folk-poetry of Kan Mikami but there's also a ton of exquisitely dilated space which Junzo navigates with endless interlocked webs of chiming six-string guitar that's the equal of Christina Carter or Hisato Higuchi. His vocals touch on the more quizzical, breathy style of Keiji Haino and the tracks feel like they plot the vaguest contours of folk-blues logic before piloting deeper into increasingly unanchored explorations of single notes and sudden machine gun retorts isolated in dark, black space." - Volcanic Tongue
