Carnival parades and ghostly meditations

Sonic adventures abound with Jennifer Lucy Allan. Expect doom-metal meditations on ghosts from Beijing, and a Peruvian carnival parade reimagined as a sound collage.

Jennifer Lucy Allan dives into the Late Junction mailbag to round up a raft of adventurous new releases that have caught her attention. There鈥檒l be a rare dub of the iconic tune Silly Games by Dennis Bovell along with a sound collage of carnival drummers, Peruvian singers, crowd chants and Quechua musical whistling (done with little finger in the mouth) recorded and arranged by R. Weis. Meanwhile, doom-metal outfit Ghostmass conjure meditations from Beijing鈥檚 musical underground and S茫o Paulo鈥檚 Felinto brings new material inspired by collectivised dream realities. Plus lo-fi bedroom pop from reissued recordings by the cult Japanese outsider composer, K. Yoshimatsu.
