GUU – Folivora EP

This is an exciting one to see pop up today. GUU first hit the speakers around here when they appeared on an indispensable comp from Guruguru Brain last year. The song from that comp, “Split My Body” resurfaces on the band’s new EP Folivora. An interconnected collection of songs, the EP finds the Indonesian band deep in the arms of prog and psych. “Split My Body” is still a standout, percolating on a patter of bass, scorched guitars, and the enchanting vocals of Sasque Alea Casta. The band pushes beyond the song’s brilliant bluster, enmeshing the second half of the EP in a three part suite that radiates a more experimental tone. Synths shimmer on part I, easing the listener into the arc of “Folivora’s” allure. The band’s polyrhythms push the suite along, the charred guitars undercut the sweetness of Casta’s siren call on parts II and III. It’s an EP that feels far deeper than the five tracks let on, a nugget of fusion that bubbles with lysergic life. The band’s new EP is out now from Orange Cliff Records. Don’t miss!
