Who better than the London based Japanese psych/noise band Bo Ningen to provide a new soundtrack for Alejandro Jodorowsky”s cult 1973 film The Holy Mountain?
They’ve always been sonic explorers, pushing layers of intensity in their sound and open to experimentation. This new album, a reimagining of the soundtrack, epitomises this, from the layered, hypnotic The Climbing, with its bone-deep bass and visceral percussion, to Wax Dummies’ desolate and minimal twang, to Jupiter, which feels woozy and sickly.
It’s immense, beautiful and disturbing, as disorienting as the film. ‘The band will play live to accompany the film in March, along with the album’s release.
Available through Alcopop! Records on March 1st
