I reviewed a track of theirs last year as part of HOOVERING UP THE RANDOM SOUNDS (where I review individual downloads sent to evilsponge, like today's version of a single's page)...I really liked it and gave it 6 out of 7.
"Which brings me to Hoshi Neko by Yamantaka // Sonic Titan, a Canadian band who are described as "a psychedelic noh-wave opera group fusing noise, metal, pop and folk music". From that description, I was expecting something much much weirder than what we actually get here. It's got big thuddy 80s sounding drums that really stand out in the mix whilst everything else merges into one sound like something Joe Meek might have done all those years ago. It's all topped by a sweet sounding Japanese girl. So, not the weird shit I was expecting, but this is getting better every listen."
