The genesis of Wabi-Sabi was three separate improvised recording sessions, two of which featured our friend Potato Jones on electric violin, viola, and guitar, which added a fresh and unique texture to the music of Yakuza Jacuzzi. Jade Emperor's Peach Garden is a reference to Chinese mythology and the major plotpoint in Sun Wukong's story in Journey to the West. The colorful 1961 Chinese animated adaptation Havoc in Heaven in particular served as an inspiration. The Japanese concept of "wabi-sabi," generally meaning to find beauty in imperfection, seemed fitting to describe our imperfect but spirited compositions.
All parts performed by Alex Wiley Coyote and William H. Klein, except: Electric violin, 5-string electric viola, and additional guitars on 'Aerial Burial' and 'Wabi Sabi' by Potato Jones
Mastered by: Cyclical Dreams
