Mienakunaru to Release Lost Bones of the Holy Butterfly on Echodelick Records

Posted in Whathaveyou on June 21st, 2021 by JJ Koczan

Well of course I looked up what Mienakunaru translates to in English. It’s Japanese for “become invisible.” Fair enough. Lost Bones of the Holy Butterfly, which is the album that the intercontinental project produced in 2020, however, will be a little bit more visible as Echodelick Records steps up to release it in the US in a red edition where the original, on Dronerock, was green. Whatever color and however invisible it might be, the record boasts two side-long guitar freakfests and is wildly consuming all the way through. Shit goes wild, kid. Jazz.

Note the inclusion of psych-drone veteran Mike Vest of Bong et al here. I’m not sure what the association between Vest and Echodelick is, but the guitarist’s Bandcamp page was also where one could find UK/European preorders the other day for the Lammping record, so there’s some deal worked out there for distribution, which is worth keeping an eye on. If Echodelick is going to end up bringing North American distro to more of Vest‘s releases, well, that’s a quick way to build a label catalog for sure.

Future’s in the future. Here’s this till that:

Mienakunaru Lost Bones of the Holy Butterfly

MIENAKUNARU – Lost Bones of the Holy Butterfly – Echodelick Records

Vinyl Release : August 2021

Mienakunaru ‘Lava Red US edition’ coming out on Echodelick Records later this summer. Originally released on Dronerock Records earlier this year to critical acclaim. Echodelick is doing a US reissue with an alternate cover. The first 75 orders will receive a Mienakunaru patch.

Mienakunaru is a power trio of psychedelic noise rock and space punk. Mienakunaru – Lost Bones Of The Holy Butterfly features Mike Vest of the bands Blown Out, Ozo, Lush Worker, Bong, Melting Hand and many more. With skills that most musicians only dream of, Mike Vest infuses this album with non-stop rock that is highly impressive. Junzo Suzuki of Tokyo, Japan is the second guitarist in this mind-blowing album. He is known for his role in many underground psychedelic rock bands and has collaborated with Snakes Don’t Belong In Alaska, 20 Guilders, Astro and has over 20 albums released under his name. These two cutting edge guitarists team up, along with Dave Sneddon (Gruel, Bad Ra), for a display of raw guitar power and battering drums that go way beyond the term ‘Heavy Psychedelia’. Be prepared for the rollercoaster of fast lead lines, dual solos, heavy stoner riffs, and more. Simply put, Mienakunaru lay waste to all lifeforms.

As Mike himself said in a recent interview; “I always wanted to make music with Junzo and Sned and it came together pretty easy. Everyone is good with production and being able to record well from home. The musicianship is top quality and it didn’t take long to all come together.”

Mienakunaru are:
Junzo Suzuki – Guitar
Mike Vest – Bass, Guitar and Mix
Dave Sneddon – Drums
