The Revenge by 10th Letter
10th Letter's new LP, 'The Revenge', is a tale about an African samurai named Yasuke set in 16th century Japan, post civil war. After Yasuke’s master, Oda Nobutada’s empire is overthrown, Yasuke finds refuge in the forest where he begins his life as a rōnin. 'The Revenge’ follows Yasuke on a journey filled with danger and mythical creatures.
10th Letter conjures this tale with a psychedelic fusion of cello, vibraphone, vocals, guitar, keys, and electronics - enlisting the help of multi-instrumentalists, Saira Raza and Daniel Friedman. 'The Revenge' will be released on Psych Army Intergalactic on September 23rd.
