{"product_id":"kohoutek-akvoturo-lp","title":"KOHOUTEK - Akvoturo LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith Akvoturo, Kohoutek is delving into a more experimental form of their brand of US psych\/space jams, a loose concept album sonically examining the consequential role that water has played in nascent civilizations, starting from our ancestral habitats. The title is in Esperanto, in theory a language as universal to humanity as water is to its diet, as well as an homage to the label ESP which is a substantial inspiration on the Kohoutek ethos, informed by revolutionary free jazz and outsider psychedelia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis release consists of 4 tracks (2 on each side). Side A starts out with Pluvobaro, a combination of Eastern inspired components, including repetitive gamelan-esque marimba and other rhythmic work, with an insect-like drone. The side continues with Inundo, a more traditional sounding American psych jammer, which could sit nicely beside any of Clint Takeda’s (of Bardo Pond fame) projects, which member Scott Verrastro also plays in. Starting as a slow thudding jam, before taking up double-time, teetering on PSF inspired fuzz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDisfalo starts side B, sparse and loose, like rain drops falling on various ephemera in a scrap yard, while the hum of machinery drones and squeals in the background. And like on side A, the 2nd track here, Irigacio, returns to classic Kohoutek form, starting from a\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003espacey\/slide guitar based, mid-tempo head-nodding jam. It eventually builds into an ecstatic and faster single-note (almost surf) melodic guitar journey, before finally returning to the slow-head-nod tempo from the start of the song. The slow fade of the track helps bring everyone back to a state of relaxation, with deep breaths and glazed eyes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carbon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45033116434640,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/files\/kohoutek.jpg?v=1780689545","url":"https:\/\/www.grapefruitrecordclub.com\/products\/kohoutek-akvoturo-lp","provider":"Grapefruit Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
