Studio Works '83-'85 (Vinyl LP)

1980s Japanese post-punk duo So-Do were an unlikely pairing, a small town mismatch of classical music training and dubby psychedelia. Studio Works '83-'85 is what it says it is, a long-overdue collection of the band's minimal output, some four decades later. Funky, too-cool, and well worth your curiosity. - Flying Out

1980's Japanese post-punk / funk from So-Do, lovingly compiled and reissued by Time Capsule.

The story of So-Do is both familiar and completely unique. A classically trained multi-instrumentalist with a poet’s sensibility and a passion for folk music meets a worldly bar owner with a love for psychedelia, post-punk and dub in the small town neither could bring themselves to leave. Over two years, they play dozens of shows in independent live houses across Japan, cut and self-release three singles – two 7”s and a 12” – and leave behind just eight tracks, all of which are set to be reissued for the first time forty years on.
