Fuubutsushi - Columbia Deluxe Vinyl LP

Columbia Deluxe imbues Fuubutsushi’s music with the electricity of playing for a crowd. Borne of the lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, the group prepared countless releases remotely from around the country. Columbia Deluxe expands compositions collected from across the band’s body of work, from their earliest releases to their 2024 LP Meridians, translating their careful arrangements into live performance. Strands of heavy music, classical music, folk, jazz intersect. Patrick Shiroishi (The Armed) plays saxophone, Chris Jusell (Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Lizzo, Rosalía) violin, Chaz Prymek (Lake Mary) guitar and bass, and Matthew Sage piano/synth. The results are intimate, affecting, and shot through with the thrill of creative risk-taking.
