eye remix ep

thrill 171 • 2007

hot on the heels of their latest record of hard-hitting polyrhythmic skree, ooioo have unleashed fellow sonic cohort eye from boredoms to dismember and reassemble two of their songs. umo and uma get the remix treatment here, resulting in two long tracks that reinvent yoshimi’s jet-propelled psychedelic pep rallies as bass-driven dancefloor slammers. as eye has shown us on recent boredoms records, he has an uncanny knack for harnessing a groove and blowing it up to a previously unknown scale, and thats exactly what he does here.

available on cdep and 12” vinyl single, both formats feature artwork by eye. the cdep comes in a full color digipak with deluxe spot-matte finishing and obi strip. the vinyl single comes in a full color sleeve with the same artwork and printing, and is strictly limited to 1,000 copies worldwide.

the release of this single coincides with ooioo’s upcoming tour of the us. it’s not often that the band comes stateside for some shows, so we’re glad to celebrate their arrival with this special, limited edition release.

kila kila kila
by ooioo
thrill jockey thrill 117 2004

kila kila kila is the newest release from japan's category spliting ooioo (pronounced oh-oh-eye-oh-oh) and their first for thrill jockey. ooioo features yoshimi, one of the most interesting avant-rock artists making music today. thrust into the spotlight in 2002 when she was made the "theme" of the flaming lips' yoshimi battles the pink robots, she has responded with her most diverse and interesting work to date with kila kila kila.

yoshimi began her music career in 1986 playing drums in the band ufo or die, which also features eye of the boredoms. that same year she joined revolutionary noisepop experimentalists boredoms, in which she still plays drums, trumpet, keyboard and sings. in the early nineties she became the drummer in kim gordon's free kitten, and released three yoshimi solo 7" singles on ecstatic peace. then in 1996 yoshimi started ooioo after speaking of it fictitiously in a magazine article. ooioo played their first shows opening for sonic youth in japan around this time and have since released two records in the states, ooioo (kill rock stars, 1998) and feather float (birdman, 2001). another record, gold and green (super ape, 2002) has only been released in japan.

yoshimi's music is constantly evolving from release to release, from one band to another. an intense performer and creator, drawing from a wide range of influences, she has invented a heartfelt musical language that is eclectic yet accessible and completely her own - dense and frantic. ooioo has always been the best outlet from yoshimi to articulate her unique talents, and the swirling, dreamy tunes of kila kila kila are the most skilled showcase of her vision as an artist to date.

kila kila kila is a perfect combination of the chaotic poppy grooves for which yoshimi is known, and the psychedelic freak-outs of the boredoms. kila kila kila is the perfect antidote to the legions of watered-down drone pop, and a natural heater for an otherwise cold winter.

thrill jockey thrill 200 2007

fifteen years ago, thrill jockey records was founded on the lower east side of new york city. in other words, it was 1992, so thrill jockey did as many new labels of those days did and released a number of 7 singles, with now-familiar names like tortoise and freakwater, and some now-less-familiar early thrillers like sugarshock and gorilla.

in the fifteen years since 1992, the 7 singles have been fewer and farther between, but with some definite gems from time to time. brokeback made its debut with a fine delight of a single called returns to the orange grove. the lonesome organist bended minds with his 7 and its pop-up deluxe cover, and the national trust made it happen with a 7 tribute to the raspberries.

now thrill jockey is looking back to that tradition for a way to celebrate fifteen years of making records for our favorite bands. inspired by the delicious devils jukebox 7 box set released in 1989 by blast first, thrill jockey will release a limited edition, heavy weight vinyl 7 box of our own: thrill jockey bands covering their favorite thrill jockey songs.

the collection is planned as a set of 10 singles. the bands were allowed to cover any song by any thrill jockey band. we hope you all enjoy this box set as much as we do and that it inspires you to chase down and listen to the originals - they are killer too! these songs will not be released on cd, and the box set will be pressed in a limited edition.
