Comment: this
handful of pieces is a poignant hybrid of music and spoken word. More
profoundly, it is a mixture of spoken word and different sonic pads ranging
from witch house influenced occult sonic appearances to mid-tempo broken beats
to murky thumps to airy guitar chords and spaced-out guitar riffs. Of course,
it does not mean that these elements are juxtaposed next to each other every
time. Frequently elaborate guitar sounds
are mixed up with programmed rhythms and vice versa (for instance, Ancient City Emerge). However, the
backbone of the issue is appearance of the Tokyo-based artist`s poems chanted in
Japanese which used to overcome and to be gravitated by the aforementioned
elements. In fact, an abstract language is exerted additionally. It might be
the effect of the output would be bigger if only having some understanding
about Japanese. The issue is a part of the discography of Black Square, the
Russian-based imprint. Fairly nice one indeed.
