Naomi’s Masturbation and Wakakusa Dormitory Guide

Always ahead of the curve, bringing seminal lost works back into centre of our consciousness, we have done it again. A true joy in listening and historically as important as they come, their first ever reissue of The Gerogerigegege, Naomi’s Masturbation and Wakakusa Dormitory Guide RE-ISSUE, turns everything on its head (and not only that) and is not to be missed.

‘’The sound source for this album was pre-existing ero cassettes. Apparently, Yamanouchi did not change the sound of the cassettes at all, and yet the sound of the album is the sound of GeroGeri. The first reason is that the ‘obscenity’ that can be felt in Gerogeri’s worldview and the obscene worldview of the ero cassette are very similar. As we look over Gerogeri’s catalogue of past work, it is clear that obscenity is one of the major elements that make up Gerogeri’s world. The many empty and meaningless sounds contained in the ero cassettes are also distorted by the ‘noise’ that is a byproduct of poor recording conditions. In addition, the mental pictures conjured by ‘closed rooms’ and ‘men and women’ combine to transform the sound into something mysterious and obscene.’’ Eiji Yaginuma 2021

A seminal document, writhing with energy and often primeval animalistic energy, stayed by the control of the narrator, that offers a crucial insight into Gero’s early actions, whether in practice or source, when it can not be easily defined
