Label Listing : Pedal (5 products)

Ai Aso - Lavender Edition. CD. (Pedal - PDL 401)

Aso's musical universe is one of limited notation and well balanced fragile "bossa-novelistic psychedelics". She quietly sets out, throughout the entire album, to show a graceful, yet sharp moving floating stride. From the first, almost minimalist approach, the atmospheric angelical quality and utterly erotic naïvet that breaths through her delicate vocals, one can feel a premonition towards an unprecedented relationship she beholds for a lyrical and soft poetic shape that feels like an introverted and at times almost religious affair her music embraces. Her whispering trade mark vocalizations are throughout the album backed up with some sparse but accurate and straight-to-the-point instrumentation provided by some of Tokyos finest scenesters around such as ex-White Heaven and Stars front man Ishihara You (who was also responsible for producing this sonic gem), Nakamura Souichirou (engineer of Nagisa Nite, Yura Yura Teikoku, Guitar Wolf, The Stars, etc), and Yura Yura Teikoku and Stars bass player Kamekawa Chiyo.

Michio Kurihara - Sunset Notes. CD. (Pedal - PDL502)

Stellar first solo adventure of former White Heaven and Stars lysergic guitar wonder Michio Kurihara. Comprised out of 9 tracks, Kurihara proves that he has more up his sleeve than merely being an extremely gifted guitar wonder. Here, he puts on display his song craftmanship and it surely stunned me. Kurihara sounds utterly mature, well structured and exciting compositions spared from guitar frivolics and instead focusing on the image of the composition. He gets assited by the rhythm section of Yura Yura Teikoku (Shibata Ichiro), Peace Music and Pedal Records spearhead Nakamura Souichiro and Ishihara You and Aso Ai who both breath some songs into being.

Stars (Japan) - Perfect Place To Hideaway. CD. (Pedal - PDL 504)

This album has sensual grooves not heard on their earlier work, cold, icy riffs, and an overwhelming tone of nihilism in the vocals. From the opener 'Subway", with guitar lines weaving through eternal, repetative grooves and Ishiharas controlled vocals, this album enters a new era for the band. From slashing guitar riffs to the impenetrable grooves laid out by the rhythm section, from the anarchic bold arangments to the dark lyricism, this album creates an overwhelming cosmic listening experience. Members of Stars used to be in WHITE HEAVEN, GHOST, HA-ZA-MA, COSMINC INVENTION, etc.

Stars (Japan) - Will. CD. (Pedal - PDL 402)

The Stars ( ex- WHITE HEVAEN!!) With 2004's "Will", which is actually their first full length album, Ishihara and crew hit right from the first notes on the smoldering down-town pavement with a vengeance, setting the general pace the rest of the album will steer into. Rooted in a tradition that leaps back unto the late-seventies no-wave punk movement and delicately balanced psychedelic song craftsmanship, the band'S take on acid-cool down-town psyched-out ephedrine rock sees them picking up the thread where Television and the Neon Boys left off some two decades ago. Right from the albums opening track "Everlasting Daylight" on, the mood is set.
