The Green Blossoms are Aiko Koga and Anthony Guerra. Aiko sings and plays ukulele. Anthony sings just a little and plays the other instruments (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, second ukulele, synthesiser, percussion, pitch pipes).
We formed in Sydney and we moved to Japan in 2005. Our first album was called 'Stones and Ecstasy' and was released on the PseudoArcana label.
Our second album, 'Whiskey Leaves' has just been released (late August 2009). It is on the Digitalis label. Initial copies come with a bonus 3" cdr.
Anthony also plays sad solo music, and loud rock music with other people. Visit www.blackpetal.com for more information about that.
Here is a review of our first album, 'Stones and Ecstasy':
Aquarius Records said this:
"Managed to get a few more of these dreamy gems back in stock...
The Green Blossoms are the duo of Anthony Guerra and Aiko Koga, and the two create gorgeously sun dappled little universes of droning ambient twang pop perfection. With just ukulele, guitar, harmonica, pitch pipes and vocals, these two stroll through some fantastical world of constant summery bliss, sometimes it's night, but even then, their world is brilliantly lit by sparkling stars, a full moon, and warm crackling campfires.
Guitars and ukes play delicate little melodies, each melody then looped into an hypnotic swirl of blissed out mesmer, then each one is wreathed in some sort of diffused fuzz, a deep glowing halo of sound, be it tinkling chimes, warm processed vocal harmonies, or dense dreamy drones.
This is some absolutely gorgeous, late afternoon, early early morning, hammock swaying in the breeze, back porch sunset, late night crackling fire, staring at the stars, floating in the middle of the sea looking up at the clear blue sky, cool mountain stream, sleeping in the tree shade, closing your eyes and drifting off, sweet, soft, warm and wonderful blissful dreaminess!"
