Andrei Rikichi - "Caged Birds Think Flying Is An Illness" (BS056)

Yes, indeed once again Bearsuit Records have released an album crammed with original thought-provoking music that is both experimental but also very listenable. An album that takes electronica, dance and cinematic sculptures to a new and experimental place, a place where white noise and James Bond soundtracks collide to great and unusual effect...
[Monolith Cocktail]

Un album frammentato nella scaletta, ma intimamente coeso, con brani che si pongono come delle piccole storie spesso sarcastiche e grandguignolesche. Un esordio convincente per un musicista a nostro parere da seguire...
[Europa e Cultura Elettronica]

Whilst sliding down the slippery, blood-soaked slope of the horror show ‘They Don’t See The Maelstrom’, you’ll appreciate Rikichi’s command of the studio and all its inherent madness and tricks, like a mad scientist version of Carl Stalling ...And ‘Death Of A Postmaster’ is one of the most beautifully sombre pieces of funeral music you’ll hear this year
[It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine]

Disque habillé de liberté et de magnificence, où le grandiloquent se fait éclatant, où la beauté s’habille de noirceur, où la musique reflète la complexité de l’Homme. Sublime
[Silence & Sound]

It’s disjointed, weird, confusing, sometimes harsh, occasionally melodic, and it makes me happy that there are still companies out there like Bearsuit who remind us all there are still folks out there pushing the boundaries of how we define what music is...
[Set The Tape]

Caged Birds Think Flying is a Sickness leaves you feeling addled and in a spin. It’s uncanny because it’s familiar, but it isn’t, as the different elements and layers intersect. It’s the sonic representation of the way in which life and perception differ as they collide
[Aural Aggravation]
