Today’s show is based on a list of influences from FreakOut! guitar player and vocalist of Hibushibire, Kohei Changchang Takakura. Changchang sent mostly artist and album, so I’ve done the work of choosing one or a few representative tracks from each album on the list and put them in order of freakout sonic congruence! I hope you find some music here that’s new to you (as it was to me), but I know you’ll find resonances with the music of the new super freaks of heavy Japanese psychedelic rock, HIBUSHIBIRE!

Huge thank you to Hibushibire and Changchang.

Turn on. Tune in. FreakOut!
