152: Maher Shalal Hash Baz
For the fifth and final spotlight show I go back to the band I revisit from a winter to another winter. Maher Shalal Hash Baz. The chaotically restrained(?) and fragilely monstrous(?) musical group led by Tori Kudo. With Hiroo and Reiko and an ever rotating ensemble, they’ve represented Japanese underground with style since 85. Chamber Folk? Dark Jazz? Art Rock? Punk? Noise? Better not be that smart guy pinning them down to any of these words, instead just join this “error-focusing” experiment. 1pm today on WRIR and wrir.org, let the dangerous music ring!
