These two Japanese superstar brothers are back with their patented “dueling shamisans” sound. Their instruments may be traditional, but their sound definitely isn’t. It’s modern and unpredictable, highly influenced by jazz. They get the coolest sounds from their strings. Most tracks start one way and then go on in surprising ways. Really great stuff. All of it.
