Feather Float

Amazon.com
Phrases like "hypnotic" and "trance inducing" are sure to pop up in any OOIOO review, but there are many other seemingly disparate but equally appropriate adjectives--like swirling, noisy, and menacing. It's not surprising that beneath this veneer of womblike ecstasy, Feather Float is disarmingly challenging, especially given that the driving member of OOIOO (pronounced "oh-oh-eye-oh-oh") is Yoshimi, hailing from Japanese noise merchants the Boredoms and Kim Gordon's (Sonic Youth) blistering Free Kitten. But this, their second recording, is more Slits than Sex Pistols, more Ghost (meditative, psychedelic Japanese guitar wizards) than Boredoms. Built on rhythmic and vocal layers, there is a tribal element to OOIOO, as modern looping techniques and ancient drum sounds collide in frenetic Dionysian revelry. And there is wordplay galore to help transport you to the Feather Float world--where the 10-minute panic of "1000 Frogs And" makes sense, and where there is anger and confusion, but it all resolves itself and dissipates into outer space. Feather Float is painstakingly crafted to perfection. --Cyndi Elliott

Ooioo - 'Feather Float' (Birdman).......2007-07-01

Whoa! This Ooioo CD really caught me off guard. Best described as good 'Japanese experimental'. Tracks here that'll keep this disc in my current rotation stack for awhile are "Be Sure To Loop", "Oi3umio",the total tripping "1000 Frogs And 3 Sun In A House" (gotta just love that song title) and the out-there "Ring Ring Lee". The vocals here may not be that great, but the over-the-top music more than makes up for it. Might appeal to some fans of Boredoms, Altered State and High Rise.

fascinating blend of early Floyd and Melt Bannana.......2003-12-09

very interesting CD. Some of the vocals are distracting, but the music is driving modern psychadelia. As I said, think Syd Barrett's Floyd mixed w/ Melt Bannana. I highly recommend.

Boredoms fans take note --.......2000-10-19

Yoshimi of the Boredoms is one of the people involved in this project. I don't know a whole lot about them, but the CD is very listenable -- it's much more poppy and pleasant than even the most accessible Boredoms' releases, while still being musically interesting. It occasionally reminds me of a carnival, though the swirling is a bit more intoxicating than carnival music ever gets, and the rhythms a little more primal, more driving. Otherwise, it's a pretty difficult CD to categorize. It also is, as we can see, fairly expensive to get this item shipped from Japan, but if you're a big Boredoms fan, you *might* be grateful.
