Two things ttoday, “and guess what, a new PoiL Ueda is coming too!” shoutted someone from the always musically rewarding PoiL(or maybe it was their label shouting?) just now. We managed to miss the recent PoiL Ueda show here in London, something to do with time or money and not being able to be everywhere at once, we hear it was good. And without mudh warning here they are following up their first collaborative album with a second one.

“Unexpected encounter between Junko Ueda, eminent figure of the Japanese medieval epic storytelling, whose warm and profound voice summons the terrestrial energies, and the organic madness of the monster PoiL practicing with cosmic rock without net. Just after releasing the debut record, the story continues with the epic story of Yoshitsune”. So they say on their Bandcamp
