***YOSHIDA TATSUYA has proven himself a major force many times over in Japan's contemporary music scene. He is the founder of RUINS and KOENJIHYAKKEI, a member of ZENI GEVA and has been cited as "[the] indisputable master drummer of the Japanese underground" by John Zorn. In KOREKYOJINN (alternately spelled Korekyojin), Yoshida joins BONDAGE FRUIT’s guitar wizard KIDO NATSUKI and GROUND ZERO’s legendary bassist NASUNO MITSURU to demonstrate the limitless potential of the “power trio”. The band first formed in 1999, and while the style is recognizable to fans of Yoshida's other acts, Korekyojinn has carved out a sound all its own. The band dance on razors, are sharp as a tack—and their overwhelming ability, jettisons them into the outer limits—where progressive rock and contemporary jazz collide into a breathtaking, futuristic, hard rock funk. Tundra is Korekyojinn's latest, greatest and first release on Skin Graft Records. (STREET DATE - 8/09/2011)
