Aural Fit - Mubomuso [Utech Records - 2010]

'Mubomuso' is Japanese psychedelic band Aural Fit's latest effort containing 5 garage rock style freakouts.

The term psychedelic is used loosely here and 'mubomuso' is more fittingly a play list of consecutively jamming garage rock style tracks featuring fuzzed out guitars and wild thrashing percussion with little to no build ups or breaks. The instrumentation can go from deranged strumming and seemingly improvised drumming to just dwelling on the same rhythms trying to play each chord more discordantly and each beat more frantic than the last one. Occasionally you'll hear a heavy blues rock driven sound that just shines through the aural tangle, and other lucid moments of rhythm outside the grungy garage-esque feel the album has. On occasion there are vocals that simply appear as yells over the instrumentation but are well complimented by the thrashing, giving it a full sound that covers all hint of silence, and rest of tempo.

The album's opening track is a raging burst of heavily distorted guitars with an incredible amount of shifts in tempo, textures and rhythms. It is a humble warm up for the mayhem at hand and entertains without seemingly going nowhere. Tracks such as 'Revelation 1' & 'Revelation 2' contain a harsh grinding quality to the guitar playing and incredibly spastic drumming played in an absolutely maniacal fashion (think Acid Mothers Temple sped up and without the spacey effects). To counteract the previous improvisational feel the final two part movement 'Embedded (1&2)' close out the album with a mid paced garage rock session separated by a few build ups and with more evident presence of the bass guitar. Overall the album has plenty of variation and an abundance of attention grabbing shifts to keep the listener interested and entertained.

'Mubomuso' comes packaged in a folded black and white cardboard sleeve that has interesting linear notes on the choosing of name for the album and some other details pursuant to the title.
