LUCID DREAMER

Vinyl, CD and digital. 16 tracks.

A magic mixture of traditionnal Min'yo songs and latin jazz elements. Recorded in Japan between 1958 and 1962.

With its second release, Akuphone keeps exploring Asia with an original compilation of Japanese singer Chiemi Eri. This edition – which is available in vinyl record, CD and digital - includes exclusive liner notes and a rich calligraphed booklet containing the romanization of lyrics. It encourages to (re)discover Chiemi Eri’s recordings. On this compilation, Akuphone has brought together 16 songs from 10 inches albums originally released by King Records (Japan) between 1958 and 1962.

As the daughter of a musician father and a singer mother, Chiemi Eri (1937-1982) grew up in a musical environment. When she was still a teenager, she started a career as a singer on US military bases. She became famous by singing numerous classics from the post-war American musical repertoire. At the age of 14 she recorded the song Tennessee Waltz with King Records, which turned out to be an immediate success, the first of many others.

Chiemi Eri is considered as one of the most famous Japanese singers of the 20th century, more precisely of the Showa era (1926-1989), named after the Japanese emperor of the time, better known under his westernized name Hirohito. Both a singer and an actress – she played in more than 50 films, as well as many theatre plays – she definitely made a mark in the post-war Japanese cultural landscape, along with fellow singer-actresses Izumi Yukimura and Hibari Misora.

The success of these true national icons, who were nicknamed « the three sisters », can be connected to the specific context of the time, that is the cultural opening of Japan which, although initiated a century before, accelerated with the US military occupation of the archipelago (1945-1952). This period saw the import of popular musical styles of the time: jazz, be-bop, swing, mambo, etc, as well as the development of a hybrid musical style - the Kayokyoku - which consists of a delicious mix of so-called “western” music with Japanese music. 

Combining vocal jazz, Latino rhythms and Japanese folk, this new compilation of Chiemi Eri offers an original musical syncretism. Supported by Tadaaki Misago and the Tokyo Cuban Boys – the oldest and most prolific latin-jazz group in Japan – Chiemi Eri sings themes, in Japanese, that are mainly taken from the traditional folklore. Thus, the drums and brass of the Cuban arrangements are mixed with the Min’yo, which shows how rich these folk songs are: every region, every local tradition, every event is celebrated by a particular song or dance. Chiemi Eri also reveals the vocal prowess specific to the Min’yo, in particular the kobushi, a sort of melisma – this vocal technic that consists in singing a single syllable while moving between several different notes in succession.

This compilation, which surprisingly blends Min’yo and latin-jazz elements, invites to the discovery of the archipelago from a different perspective.

Since early 2017, Pete Cunningham, who you may better know as Ishmael, has been cultivating an extremely impressive project. Debuting as a troupe on "Songs for Knotty", Ishmael Ensemble have since gone on to release three records. Two in 2018 and one forthcoming in January of 2019, all of them on Cunningham's Severn Songs imprint, named after the river itself. The Bristol-based outfit has been praised by the likes of Dan Snaith aka Caribou, Tom Ravenscroft, The Vinyl Factory, Gilles Peterson and also recently performed for the latter's UK Jazz Special on BBC 6 Music.

The third and concluding release on Severn Songs, aptly titled "The River", will be the final chapter in the series. Collaborating with jazz trumpeter Yazz Ahmed on the release, the two songs are a fitting tribute to the impressive river. Keyboardist Jake Spurgeon, who has featured on all Severn Songs releases to date, recorded sounds from another famous river, the Ganges. They feature prominently in the background of the impressive release, perfectly setting the mood as the percussion and keys slowly escalate and then ebb to give room for Ahmed's haunting trumpet to take centre stage. As the drums increase in intensity and the percussion billows, whirling trumpet trills and swelling synths take us into the climax before receding into the background and the gentle sounds of the river lapping end our journey just as it started.

Capping off an impressive 2018 with the announcement of "The River" and the reprise on the flip, an equally tense yet gentler take on the original, we're looking forward to what 2019 brings. Be sure to catch Ishmael Ensemble live as they continue to tour and keep your ear to the ground as there's a rumoured album on the horizon, too.

"Keep Cup" features punchy power chords, driving bass riffs and lightning quick drum fills. Plus, plenty of bright, rousing ooh’s and aah’s, reminiscent of Cherry Glazerr’s candied garage pop or Girlpool’s layered vocals.

Marcel Vogel aka Em Vee joins the RNT roster with a 4-pack of unsurprisingly heavy edits. The Lumberjack In Hell label boss takes us on a little trip through one of his own eclectic sets, starting with the oddball boogie of You Move Me and then moving on to the hands-in-the-air positivity of Spreading Energy. On the flip it’s the uptempo afro burner Don’t Be Sabi Say, with the 12” concluding on the whimsically catchy I Wish I Knew The Words. Tried and tested and found true!

The Afterlife

All That Matters Is The Moments (feat. Joshua Idehen)

The Comet Is Coming has possessed an air of inevitability almost from the word “Go”! Much like the trail-blazing name they originally lifted from a BBC Radio Workshop record, the trio has participated in a kind of Big Bang. Its immediately relentless sound demands a sense of being present in the moment yet lost within it, much like how visceral punk rock, interstellar jazz blasts, deepest dance-floor trances and real-time technological breakthroughs do. Octavia Butler once wrote that, “There is nothing newunder the sun, but there are new suns.” And on their third album, Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam, synthesist/studio-magician Danalogue, drummer-producer/intuitionist Betamax, and saxophonist/spiritual riffologist Shabaka bring her verses to life. They burn brightly, directly and confidently, soundtracking our epoch of change in ways their contemporaries simply aren’t trying to. Like great artists throughout the recorded century, they possess, in Shabaka’s words, “a sensitivity to the zeitgeist,” channeling their sound into both a mirror to our times and a potential healing process for it. If that seems like asking a lot, The Comet Is Coming is uniquely qualified. Because even by their own telling, that other-worldly power was almost instantaneous.

On Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam, they turn it back onto the listener. Wish us all luck!
