Important Records announces two new releases: the debut from Barbez and O Si Amos A Essere Duas Umbras?
from Kawabata Makoto of Acid Mothers Temple. From the Important press
sheet: "Not too long ago, Barbez and Boston's Dresden Dolls were sister
groups treading similar musical waters, but with each group maintaining
unique and distinctive sounds. In fact, before Important Records signed
the Dresden Dolls for their live album A Is For Accident, the
Dolls and Barbez were conspiring to set up their own label called Black
Freighter. Well, you may well know how the story went from there. The
Dresden Dolls have moved on to a well deserved fame which is growing
every moment. The next chapter in this musical story is the this
brilliant, eccentric full length from Barbez." As for Makoto, "Kawabata
has created O Si Amos A Essere Duas Umbras? in tribute to
Sardegna where his creative life recently achieved a highly influential
spiritual climax. According to Kawabata, these recordings represent one
of the most important moments in his life. While in Sardegna he found
his 'cosmos.' At some point on his trip, a new cosmos opened for him
and he received 'many wonderful vibrations.' These are the very first
of his works created after this transcendental experience."
