V/a / Shadow Music Of Thailand

Sublime Frequencies

NOW AVAILABLE ON CD!!! "Shadow Music" was a broad term given to the Thai guitar pop movement of the 1960s and the groups that came out of it—all under the profound influence of early Western rock and roll. Traditional Thai melodies were given the Shadow treatment—incorporating rock, surf, a-go-go, exotica, soul, blues, Latin and otherworldly styles of the times. Inventive compositions and instrumental genius meet the occasional odd vocal arrangement and the results range from plaintive guitar and organ-driven lullabies to full-blown electric garage folk-psychedelia.
