Ben Chasny: The late great Kaneko Jutok’s main band was Kousokuya, who practiced a unique style of deconstructed rock music that was as ethereal as it was raw. This solo record has him playing songs that essentially sound like solo folk songs but played through a Stratocaster and a wall of Marshall amplifiers, with the exception of a pair of songs that feature a full band in full-on Crazy Horse expended solo mode.
