San Kazakgascar

This track is from the album Greetings From Beautiful San Kazakgascar. The album ricochets between rhythmic chant parties and Eastern-dipped drone. Its lyrical obsession with topography is backed by the woodwind's reverberations off of steep canyon walls. The band's poppy art-rock psychedelia steals ideas from the world over, especially Central and Southern Asia. The band has been compared to Savage Republic, Sonic Youth, Camper Van Beethoven, Dick Dale, 3 Mustapha 3, etc.

This Sacramento, CA band is Jed Brewer (gtr/voc), Paul Takushi (drums/voc), Greg Hain (bass/voc), and Mike Woo (clarinet). The album was released in Nov' 07 on Lather Records.
