Jun Konagaya – Organ LP (Urashima)

$35.00

Taking immense pleasure in unveiling the exquisite vinyl reissue of Jun Konagaya's seminal solo album, titled Organ. Originally presented in 2012 on the CD digital medium, this opus marks Konagaya's inaugural solo venture, distinctly departing from his earlier collaborative endeavors under the monikers Grim and White Hospital.

A prodigious figure in the Japanese noise and industrial landscape, Grim left an indelible mark in the 1980s with its dark, luminous allure. After a series of live performances and select sonic releases, Grim mysteriously receded from the scene. However, in 2009, the complete sound sources of Grim resurfaced under Konagaya's meticulous curation, hinting at a potential resurgence.
The auditory journey presented in Organ is a far cry from the abrasive feedback and primal roars that characterized Grim's sonic palette. Instead, Konagaya embarks on a melodic exploration of melancholy, akin to the ethereal folk sensibilities glimpsed in Grim's Message.
