Poil - Yoshitsune '2023

Tracks list

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.

Yoshitsune
The Heike-Monogatari depicts the epic tale of the hero Yoshitsune, who brought
victory to his Genji clan in its epic war with the Heike clan. After years of
war, the Heike clan was finally defeated at the naval battle at Dan-no-Ura bay.
The Genji assumed power in Kamakura, south of modern day Tokyo, and ruled Japan
from 1192 to 1333, establishing what is now known as the Kamakura period.
Minamoto-no-Yoritomo was the general of Genji and the older brother of
Yoshitsune, who swore his loyalty to Yoritomo. Despite Yoshitsune’s
heroic service and solemn oath, Yoritomo still suspected that he secretly
intended to take over the government, and ordered his assassination. Yoshitsune
was forced into exile.
