Mainliner first leaked from Japan in the ‘90s, their low slung Stooges riffs, plangent psychedelic feedback surges, and exhaust rattle improvisations unprecedented in their pulverizing intensity.
The trio soon dissipated, guitarist Kawabata Makoto recording a subsequent sixty-two albums with the deeply dippy Acid Mothers Temple.
But the title track of the reformed Mainliner’s album opens with a bomb-blast of stuttering guitar and distant monastic chanting, immediately reasserting their status. New Sun’s twenty minute stew of Neanderthal noise and sun worshiper psalmodies manages to be both meditational and maddening.
