today's chore playlist selection: "Tsugaru Jongara (Shinbushi)" by Takeshi Terauchi and Blue Jeans. from the Japanese genre 'eleki', inspired by surf rock, while incorporating other instruments - like the fantastically used shamisen here. the whole album is great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dS5... - ThreadSky

One of my favorite surf guitarists, I found a record of his in a random shop and its just as good as this one. Rasyoumon and this are my bucket list records of his

Thailand has a similar surf-influenced genre called “shadow music” due to The Shadows being the first surf band to build a following there.

Here’s the best place to start, I stumbled across this compilation maybe 15 years ago and it sent me down a rabbit hole of SE Asian and Pacific Island surf and garage music.

Shadow music has more American R&B and British Invasion influences than eleki typically does, they blend surprisingly well with the more traditional Thai elements.
