Green Milk From the Planet Orange - City Calls Revolution...
I send apologies for the lack of a Tuesday playlist on BoaWs yesterday. I honestly sat here for a long time trying to think up something to use for it, but my brain just wouldn’t cooperate. I should seriously start compiling these a little sooner. If anyone has suggestions for a playlist, shoot me an e-mail or something. It would actually be a lot more fun to do that way. So yeah, do that because it would be really cool.
Anyway, while looking for some other stuff this past week I ran across a band called Green Milk from the Planet Orange. On just the band name alone I gave their latest record City Calls Revolution a shot, which was released last year. Knowing nothing about them prior to hearing this, it didn’t take long afterwards to convince me to go scouring the Internet for whatever information I could find on them. Thankfully, that wasn’t a difficult task in part to their insanely peculiar name.
The Japanese trio apparently comes from a background in the grindcore scene, however you’ll find little to none of that in Green Milk from the Planet Orange. The band reiterates on their website and myspace that “progressive rock is not dead”. While it may seem that way since the 70’s ended, it’s still a genre that commonly sneaks its influence into a ton of other bands. While immediately associating their selves with prog, the band also declares that they are the “new wave of progressive rock”, which after listening is probably a statement they can easily back up. The band combines and plays just about every style of music that would display their musical proficiency. The music is the combination of acid jazz freak outs, frenzied garage rock, psychedelia, and so much more. Squeezing it all in is no problem with songs that range all the way up until the 40 minute mark. However, not once did I find myself disinterested in it. It’s just so remarkably well done.

Apparently the band has put out a number of other releases; however the majority of them are out of print due to the incredibly limited runs of them. Regardless, you can still pick up City Calls Revolution and everything else that is still in print over at Beta-Lactam Ring Records. Also, you can find more MP3 samples on their site from some of their older releases as well, so check that out.
