Announcing the new album 'Boiled Moon' from acclaimed Bristol-based psych/art-rock outfit Yama Warashi.
Inspired by Japanese folk dance, free jazz and tribal African music - and heavily saturated in psychedelia - Yama Warashi's songs are lyrically outlandish and charming, melodically addictive and mythical.
Yama Warashi is the project of Yoshino Shigihara, a Japanese musician and visual artist whose past projects include erstwhile cult favourites Zun Zun Egui (Bella Union). The band name translates from Shigihara's native tongue as "small childlike mountain spirit".
Originally from Ashiya city, near Osaka, multi-instrumentalist Yoshino Shigihara discovered her love of playing piano aged three, kicking off a lifelong musical curiosity. After a period of exploring other artistic avenues, she picked up the piano again on moving to Bristol and finding herself brimming once again with inspiration.
Following the success of their early releases, in 2017 Yama Warashi were awarded funding from the PRS Foundation, and they recorded their new album with Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, M.Ward, Perfume Genius) at Toybox Studios; they have hit upon a truly unique and impactful sound that sees Shigihara taking major leaps in compositional complexity, songwriting and artistic freedom, backed by an impressive and close-knit ensemble of talent.
