Dig With Dignity "Kraut?" CD (Power Trip, 3-17-14 Minami-Koiwa, Edogawa- Ku, Tokyo)

Somebody wants to make it particularly difficult for an overworked writer like me by obviously getting out of line. DwD are mixing happy guitar tunes with a wall of noise out of modified electronic devices, and as if this wasn't enough, there are bizarre lyrics about Japanese adverbs of time, about bored gods burning liars and about the dress-code of the Goth- scene. Their self-characterization as Psychedelic- Trash- Art- Racoon- Rock might give some first hints, but it's difficult to put it into words. Humorless people with conservative musical preferences should be expressly warned of that album! However, who is sufficiently daring and open-minded and shows interest in this work doesn't need to send his money straight to Japan, but can get Kraut? as an import from the Indigo distribution company.
