Sax Ruins - Yawiquo


This is a very unique album. The duo Yoshida Tatsuya and Ono Ryoko who are both highly regarded in the Japanese Avant Garde scene combine to reconstruct songs from their old band Ruins in entirely new ways.
Where Ruins relied on heavy bass and guitars, Sax Ruins (as you might have guessed) replaces that with multiplexed recordings of Saxophone.
From start to finish, Yawiquo is a chaotic album, with the mix of fast, heavy drums and sax it makes for a very refreshing listen, it's like mixing some form of Ska'Jazz with post hardcore, I really haven't heard anything else like it.
