flau、術ノ穴などからのリリースでも知られる希代のトラック・メイカーGeskiaの通算7枚目となる待望の最新アルバム『SFIMT』！
前作『Silent Of Light』に続きPROGRESSIVE FOrMよりリリース。

本作の特徴は何と言っても収録全10曲にちりばめられたボーカルやボイスの存在であろう。その意味ではGeskia初のボーカル・アプローチなアルバムとも言える。

フィールドレコーディングを始めとした多種多様なボイス素材の声や歌のフレーズを分解し、ピッチを様々にいじったものを再構築してオートチューンで歌わせるという手法を取っており、男性らしく聴こえる声も元は女性の声だったり、その逆もあり、楽曲を構成する楽器の一部として声に性別としての役割はもたせてはいないが、そこには強烈な存在感と魅惑的なメロディー・ラインが奏でられている。

アルバム全体としては、都会的な影の部分や現代的な響きは意識して取り入れており、個人的な憂いや倦怠感などの渇きを都市の生産的で肯定的な躍動感と対比させた部分、またそこから産まれるのはパーソナルな核になる孤独感と多幸感にスポットを当てて表現されています。

WARP、TriAngle Records、Young Turks、Modern Loveといったレーベルのエッセンスとシンクロする現在進行形の音楽に通じたテイストのリスナーにお薦め。

Geskia "Priority Minority" from "SFIMT" PFCD48

"..Ishi finds Gengras continuing to take cues from the latter comparison point: its three tracks flow into each other subtly enough to qualify as passages rather than discrete songs, building and releasing with a patient determination. The music moves unhurriedly from moment to moment in a way that traces the clear outline a strong compositional foundation, producing an atmosphere that's both serene and substantial.
It’s tempting to call Ishi ambient music, but it possesses too much presence to fade into the background. It possesses an insistence that just stops short of dominating your attention. Although Gengras’ current mode relies heavily on slow-attack synth pads, he frequently works in dissonant leads and unexpectedly harsh tones that can disrupt the peaceful mood you might find yourself lulled into. It’s a soothing record, but one that’ll still keep you on your toes." - Miles Raymer, Pitchfork

Anjunadeep, the renowned UK label responsible for breaking acts like Lane 8, Dusky, Yotto, Cubicolor, Ben Böhmer and Eli & Fur, present the inaugural installment of their new downtempo compilation series ‘Reflections’. Marking the label’s 500th release, ‘Reflections Vol. 1’ features a handcrafted selection of 10 downtempo electronic cuts from the label’s biggest stars including Yotto and Lane 8, Anjunadeep breakout talents Qrion and Nox Vahn while welcoming new names PSBR, Kitput and Vár Sofandi into the fold.

‘Reflections Vol. 1’ presents a selection of new and exclusive electronic tracks, ranging from the piano-led melodies of Yotto’s ‘Maggio’, Deep 08 favourites Lane 8’s ‘Apes & Children’ and Croquet Club’s ‘Slow Mo’, both seeing a long awaited full release, alongside fresh ambient contributions and label debuts from Germany’s Kitput, London-based multi-instrumentalist PSBR and Finland’s Vár Sofandi.

The album's second single comes courtesy of Anjunadeep legend Yotto with the piano led melodies of ‘Maggio’. Since making his debut on the label in 2015, Yotto has garnered a global following and resounding tastemaker backing; with steady support from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Danny Howard, while his 2018 debut album ‘Hyperfall’ reached #1 on Billboard’s Dance Album Chart, and saw him tour the world and play at Coachella. Since then Yotto has established his own label, Odd One Out, putting out a string of club cuts supported by the likes of Tale Of Us, Artbat and Eric Prydz.
