If you have never checked out 2562's Aerial LP, then it's probably best you dedicate some time to doing that now. 
 
Now that's over, you'll be suitably enthused to hear that he has a new record on the way, and this time the tempo has been lowered a little and there's been a lot of new influences in the intervening years, but essentially it's still the fantastic work of 2562.

FC2018 ＷＩＴＣＨＳＥＴ

Song for March! The prompt was "Irish Folk", so have a very bad Irish accent!

I'll go down to the auld oke tree,
whar a lass sits waitin' fer me.
She'll rise up on 'er bare black feet
and smile a flash of ivory.

Oh, hand in hand we'll go,
scarcely wit a thought o' woe,
a-laughing, then, afore we know,
the world'll fall to far below.

[Tho, ye know, it's just a dream.
Nothin's lovely as it seems.
Oh, ye know, such stories told,
she's dancin' in my antipode.]

We'll go down to the auld oke tree,
a-humming in sweet harmony,
her starless face a lovely scene
and mine that can't stop smiling.

Wit her hair as jet blak wool,
dark eyes turn me wise to fool,
voice as clear as gentle pool,
them'll be her trusty tools. 

I'll take her by the hand
my faith shall she demand.
Oh, I'll then give it 
with the fervor o' the damned.

[Chorus]

I went dahn to the auld oke tree,
rested there beneath its leaves.
Still, but for a perfect breeze
and absolutely empty.

Can I miss what I've not had?
Maybe nothin's not so bad,
for tho I am a lonesome lad,
this auld oke tree has found me.

[Chorus]

Auld Oke Tree

"Elusive pop fantasias, and intentionally so." - Pitchfork

"Unquestionably multi-talented as well as multilingual... wqe should all be grateful that Miho Hatori speaks the universal language of music so fluently." - Impose

NYC's rare and inimitable talent New Optimism (aka Japanese musician Miho Hatori, co-founder of the beloved Cibo Matto and a collaborative partner of Gorillaz, Beastie Boys, John Zorn, etc) releases her vibrant debut EP Amazon To LeFrak on July 27th through Phantom Limb.

New Optimism is Miho’s newest project, a vivid, unpredictable and technicolour sonic palette that shapeshifts mercurially around grooving basslines, subtle electronica, leftfield sound explorations and playful experimental pop.
 
New Optimism can be seen as a natural landing point for Miho's past musical journeys - strange and wonderful, encompassing pop, experimental, hip-hop and dance music: her work with Beck's backing musicians may have contributed to the brightly-coloured avant-soul of Amazon To LeFrak; her time as a Gorillaz member (Miho was the voice of cartoon band-member Noodle) offers a window into the intelligent, mischievous pop songwriting heard in New Optimism's structure-toying and Miho’s infectious singing voice. The strains of Caribbean/Brasilo-beat littered through the record are evidence of Miho's fascination with Latin music and follow her curveball 2003 bossanova duet album with Smokey Hormel. The additional production credits of ex-Vampire Weekend member Rostam [Batmanglij] enter the mix as noise-driven synth lines and bubbling percussion.

Miho writes that the name for her project acts as a response to the post-postmodernist term "New Sincerity", pertaining to contemporary anti-cynical and anti-ironical earnest creative expressions. "New Optimism", as a title, means the opposite of this, says Miho.

Amazon To LeFrak was written and produced with recording collaborators in a handful of key New York studios around Miho's multiple other projects, including mixtapes for RVNG Intl.'s Commend store in Manhattan and numerous sound design compositions and installations.

Miho will be performing live at Basilica SoundScape 2018, held in New York's Hudson Valley on September 14-16th, alongside Lightning Bolt, Grouper, Haxan Cloak x Nick Zinner and more.
