[Teaser of the day] Shibuya Motors - Mimi Tu
(((О))) – CHURCHBURN (2011)
/Witch house, Avant-electronica,
Gothgaze, Drag house, Ghostgaze, Newbreed, Trianglecore, Hip-hop, Epic, Experimental
electronica, Remixes, Darktronica, Post-industrial/
Comment: occult-themed
dark synth progressions, disturbingly shifting rhythms and obscure vowel
experiments are mixed up with each other throughout 15 tracks. Only the
finishing †hroVV y▲ se† in d▲ ▲!r
(Cypress Hill Zombie Rave RMX) remix is clearly more hip-hop centred - with
catchy rapping and signal-fuelled impulses in the background. The issue
involves many highlights due to slowed-down epic synth explorations which seem
to be similar to some gloomy shoegaze/dark wave related albums like Treasure by Cocteau Twins, or The Burning Circle And Then Dust by Lycia. Great stuff!
Gift – a EP (2014)
/Folktronica, Alternative
pop, Jazztronica, Indietronica, Acid pop/
Comment: these 5 pieces represent a blend of
instrumental folk and electronic music in its beauty and craftiness. More
concretely, it consists of skewed guitar chords, chopped and twisted electronic
bits, unexpected dodges and noisy overdrives giving it a refreshing outlook. At
times the guitars are jettisoned in favour of enchanting piano chords and moody
jazzy samples. Frequently the chords seem to be stop-timed to be continued with
a new rush and power. In spite of superficial effects, a sense of melody comes
forth from the nexus. This instrumental issue comes out of Japan and is issued
on Element Perspective. Ultimately the outlet is amusing and charming.
Greendjohn – String Element EP (2014)
/Orchestrated music, Alternative,
Soundtrack/
Comment: in fact, it was very problematic to
categorize this 9-track album because of having no predominant or obvious element
within it. Indeed, it includes panoramic violin progressions and orchestrated
heavens behind it, though it is not classical music on its own. Instead of it
this may resemble more the movie soundtrack. In addition to exuberant orchestrations
and bow instrument based progressions the album involves electric guitar
playing and some synthesised bubbling below the upper layers. Indeed, listen to
this beatific outlet to enjoy and fathom it. I recommend listen to the Belgian
musician`s previous issue (Loophole 2011 - reviewed at Recent Music Heroes) either.
