Comment: Chilean Felipe Baradit Stevenson aka Baradit's last release Revolución Tecnológica (2018, Pueblo Nuevo) was a cohesive mix of propulsive motorik synth-pop and Air-alike sophisticated artsy pop music. Anyway, beforehand the artist had issued a batch of outings and one of them was this 4-track long (and clocking in at a 14 minute) Japanese Train EP. Similarly to the latest release it used to rely on intense bubbling of obsessive synth bass chords though on the other side it involves much "accidental" sounds like concrete sound layers, radio waves, downright electronic effects. Thirdly, it may be rougher by its sounds yet it seems to be more pop-oriented due to adding female singing and snooty guitar riffs to the blend. What's the purpose of music in general? Just to provide an alternative to war, negative energy and thoughts, to envy and aggressive intentions. Rather one would experience neurotic excitement than masochistic rational fear within a state of war. Additionally, such sort of experimental pop helps to step outside from a determined system which changes human beings into a psychologically unhealthy one. This spellbinding recombinant pop release is a part of the discography of Bump Foot.
