about

Alongside the 2016 album “God of Silver Grass,” Scattered Purgatory are dropping this new track to let you know that they’ll be sticking around for a while. Having let go of all the amps and the Taj Mahal Traveller meditative psychdelia, they’ve traced back to the early age of techno, classic experimental duos such as Cluster and Popol Vuh, and the original root of all modern sound – synthesizer music of the late ‘60s. With it’s dark and restless kosmiche drone and prolonged minimal rhythms, “Kua-Chhiu” has managed to sort out a captivatingly tortuous new texture.

Kua-Chhiuh is the only mummy that rests in the National History Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. Born in late Ching-dynasty-occupied Taiwan, Kua-Chhiuh deemed himself Agent of the Black Sky’s God and his cult amassed numerous followers. He demanded that his followers preserve his body and worship him after death. Later, during Taiwan’s Japanese occupation, his cult fought the reign of the empire under the guidance of his oracle.

What better way to get into the head of a cultist leader than via these Taiwanese drone warlords turned ritual kosmiche techno DJs.
