Oki – Live At Café Oto

His LP »Tonkori in the Moonlight« was a highlight of last year and OKI, who works at the interface of dub and the musical traditions of the Ainu people, could also be heard on a reissue of a crucial Umeko Ando album. Those who don’t know any better might have thought it even was her voice on the first track of »Live at Café Oto,« but far from it. Anyhow, the focus of this performance lies less than ever on traditional formulas and instead on a psych-ey full-band sound.This is dub-rock, and it kicks ass. Kristoffer Cornils
