New Spartan Fidelity song w/ The Yoshida Brothers

Here's something new for all the kids that have been waiting for the new album from Cinjun and Shelby Tate of Spartan Fidelity. It seems that in the time between albums they recorded a song with the Yoshida Brothers of Japan.

Supposedly the Yoshida Brothers are musical sensations in their homeland, but foreign celebrity has never really cut it in the States. However, if you play an ancient three-string Japanese instrument (called the
Tsugaru-shamisen), which holds the entire eastern culture captive with its trickling notes, then you might be on the road to stardom.

Receiving a lot of
press lately (Interview Magazine, New York Times, A&E), the Yoshida Brothers might be the artists to usher in the Japanese invasion. I don't know how soon thats going to happen but at the very least a beautiful song was created in this transnational collaboration.
