Harald Grosskopf - Minimal Boogie *promo

Hailing from Hiroshima, Meitei, unveils the final chapter of his transformative Kofū trilogy. “Kofū III” marks the apex of a musical journey that began in 2020, unraveling an introspective exploration of the artist's psyche while delving deep into the essence of Japanese culture. This latest release invites listeners into the innermost sanctums of Meitei's existence — a passage filled with serenity, self-discovery, and the triumphant conquest of personal demons.

Meitei's journey has been deeply intertwined with his surroundings. His move from bustling Kyoto to the tranquil rural town of Onomichi in Hiroshima wasn't just a change of location but a profound shift in his life. Navigating through the ebbs and flows of mental well-being, Meitei found solace in the quiet, low-key energy of Onomichi, where he began creating his distinctive brand of "ambient" music dedicated to resurrecting ‘lost Japanese moods’.

"Kofū III" is not just a collection of songs; it's a window into Meitei's mind, where he reflects on ‘the Japanese mental landscape,’ as experienced during the period of his return to his hometown. This album stands as a testament to Meitei's evolution, from his tentative inner quest to a state of deep healing.

"Kofū” and its precursor, "Kwaidan,” germinated in the solitude of Onomichi, embodying the mysterious, vanishing essence of Japan that Meitei unearthed in the shadows of his hometown. With "Kofū III," this exploration reaches its zenith, weaving musical landscapes that transcend temporal bounds. Each track vividly paints bygone eras and vignettes, all while drawing on the rich tapestry of Japanese literature and mindscapes.

Meitei introduces listeners to the tranquil Hiroshima countryside in 'Reimei,' while 'Hiroshima' reflects upon the city's transformation. It explores Meitei's intricate relationship with the city and contemplates the ever-changing visage of contemporary Japanese progress.

Within the sonic fabric of "Kofū III," "Shisei" brings listeners to Japan's past, when tattoos bore the name "Shisei." Fueled by Junichiro Tanizaki's "Shisei" narratives, the song paints a sensual tale of a tattooed man adorning a woman with a spider tattoo.

Meitei's authenticity shines through in "Kofū III," where complex emotions metamorphose into a kaleidoscopic fusion of lo-fi bliss. In "Yume-jūya," Meitei recounts a peculiar dream and the lingering anxiety it left behind. Also, inspired by the famous Japanese writer Soseki Natsume's "Yume-jūya," Meitei's interpretation offers his own perspective on this comical and bizarre tale.

"Edogawa Ranpo" stands as a mind-bending loop track that pays homage to the genius of the lesser-known Japanese author Edogawa Ranpo, a pioneer of the mysterious and bizarre. This experimental piece melds folklore, electronic rapture, and distortion, echoing Meitei's fascination with Ranpo's work since his elementary school days.

At the core of "Kofū III" lies "Heiwa," originally titled "1945," encapsulating Meitei's profound reflection on peace education in his hometown and the weighty significance of acknowledging historical tragedies. Its renaming as "Peace" symbolizes his personal odyssey towards understanding and reconciliation.

As Meitei concludes his Kofū trilogy, global listeners are invited to embark on this voyage to unearth the hidden treasures of Japanese culture and the depths of the human soul. "Kofū III" is a meditation on the intangible threads that bind us to our past - a portal to Japan's veiled history, capturing the essence of Japan's elusive spirit through the enigmatic landscapes of Meitei's inner terrains.

"Kofū III" is slated for release on December 1, 2023, in 180g LP, CD, and digital formats via KITCHEN. LABEL. Both LP and CD format are presented in a debossed sleeve with obi strip and include an accompanying 32-page booklet. This album is mastered by Chihei Hatakeyama in Tokyo, Japan.

Tokyo based violinist and multi-instrumentalist, Kumi Takahara, is back with a new single and an aus remix, marking her return since her debut album See-Through. Delving into the realm of distant memories and dreamlike visions, this release signifies her reconnection with the contemporary music backdrop that defines her artistry. Weaving together strings and poetic readings, it crafts an enchanting musical tapestry.

FLAU w/ Grantby - 22/11/2023

You smiled then the spell was cast…..
（あなたが笑って、それで魔法がかけられて…… 
　アレサ・フランクリン「At last」）

「いまだに俺が俺のNo.1 fan」
なんて淡いgreenのheartも次第に酸化
余りならあるから分けるよ不安感
Stagした空気が隔てるgunとsun

だから朝までダンスなんて性に合わないのさ
でも金のないカスだって今日は踊りたいのさ
欲しいよ　少しの強度　出張って総スカン
食らったって　気づかないくらいの鈍感

「この都市のlife like 弱い炭酸　甘いFanta」
空腹のないレンズでは触れられない何か
きっと誰もが抱えているだろうwonder
あさ目覚めて感じるあの憂鬱とか

生まれや育ちで違う景色
俺にとってはこの街は僻みとlazy
同時に宝石　教えてくれた怒りのレシピ
今日も　いまはいない　生者のイメージを熱し切る

「差し出されたhandsに包丁　忘れないあの猛暑」
肺のなかまで満たされるあの憎悪
感情ですらない　血が冷め凍てつく脳を
ピッチが高すぎるってマジで上げてくれよlowを

霧雨の街を　放浪したよな　One day
あのことがまたリアルに感じられた One day
誰かがまた誰か　恨んでる　（なんで？）
少しすれ違えば回転　そう簡単にはいかないよ先生

「でも、それって俺になんか関係あんの？」
店内　握るグラスに汗　伺う反応
従いなさいと言う社会に従い　有能　
そんな世じゃ　窮屈だと思うんだよね　You know?

200年前のフランスの路上での証言
血塗れの手からの贈り物を俺ら証明してる
でも俺がお前だったら？　わからない　
悪天候でも段ボールで寝るひと 　終わらない革命

「ねえ、この歌、続けようよ、続けられるなら
いつの日にか　わたしたち　きっとできるから」
「ああ、なんとなく　わかるよ言ってることなら
俺とお前は違う存在には変わりないのだけど」

Till dawn, till morning, till the breaking of clouds, 
And swelling of winds, and the universal voice,
Till man raise his darkened limbs out of the caves of night…
（ついには夜明け、朝になり、雲が切れ、
風がはらみ宇宙の声となり、人間は夜の洞窟から
黒ずんだ手足を持ち上げる
ウィリアム・ブレイク「フランス革命」）　

斜に差し込む老いたdiamondsはさ
永遠じゃないが　奮い立たせるに十分
お祈りをしてから　本番まであと数分
腹割ってRapするか　起こすよUpside down

written by La Place Vide
beat by Palais de Dieu

Another aleatoric FM Patch. For some reason i tended to a pentatonic scale...maybe because it always works. Hope you like it!

Music for Baths Vol. I is the debut album from former Georgia resident Early Fern, and the inaugural release from new Métron Records project/sub-label small méasures - which aims to donate funds to organisations and causes of the artists choosing.

Having recently quit their full time job and begun seasonal work on organic farms, Early Fern began a process of reconnection in their own life. Taking the plunge to move away from the stresses of 9 to 5, along with the depression and anxiety engendered by participation in that lifestyle, they began to find a new grounding in remote farm-stays in Florida, Texas, and New Mexico. It was during this process that Early began recording music that mirrors their attempts to become more calm, more present, and more connected to their natural surroundings. It was in these sessions that Music for Baths was recorded.

Baths are a place where people have historically visited to find restoration, both mentally and physically, whilst soaking in the tranquility of water. It thus seemed appropriate that this record be an homage to those moments of calm, and to the process of healing. Indeed we can confirm that these tracks are a fantastic accompaniment to a soothing bath.

Early wanted to use the profits from this release to support an organisation close to their heart. Seeding Sovereignty is an indigenous womxn led collective which seeks to dismantle colonial structures and policies in politics, agriculture, and justice. These songs were recorded on colonised land, and by donating to them Early seeks to undo some of the harm of colonial structures and, in a small way, offset some of the privilege from which they benefit in a colonised nation.
