Bo Ningen, a Tokyo quartet resident in London, resist geographical and musical categorization.
Their second album launches at hardcore velocity with Soko, but douses the explosives with swathes of psychedelic guitar; Chitei Ningen Mogura and Daikaisei Part II channel Hawkwind’s space-biker blues; Nichiyou is louse-infested funk-metal; 32 Kaiten is a downtown New York drone shadowing Sonic Youth; Ten To Sen’s comatose floatation tank dream pop drone recalls their countrymen Boris’ meditative moments. Bo Ningen offer a perfectly blended cocktail of all the best back catalogues.
