The tale of the Source Family, an L.A.-based (later Hawaii) commune of the early ‘70s, is legendary. The group's spiritual leader, Father Yod, shepherded the young people of the group, operated the popular Source health food restaurant, and frequently fronted the in-house rock band, the mega-psychedelic YaHoWha 13. When Father Yod died in a hang gliding accident in 1975, the group dispersed.
In 2007, with the publishing of a book about the Source Family, the original YaHoWha 13 reunited for some shows and did some studio recordings. Of the live reunion, the L.A. Times wrote that the band "makes Devendra Banhart look like Don Rumsfeld... the surviving members of the group reformed Friday night at the Echoplex and proudly revisited an era when belonging to the counter-culture took a bit more commitment than joining a Facebook group.
YaHoWha 13's music is purposefully obtuse and hypnotic -- tribal drums, sawing violins and group chanting made up on the spot -- but it's nothing you can't get from Animal Collective or Soft Circle today. The difference is that YaHoWha 13 really, really means it."
Now comes the release of Sonic Portation featuring a re-formed YaHoWha 13. These are the long awaited results, the first studio recordings in over 30 years! Original members Djin, Octavius and Sunflower jam out like the ensuing years never happened. Incredible improv pieces with mind melting guitar and the psychedelic low end throb that all Yod fans will immediately recognize.
"Literally, the best reunion album of all time!"
