Sayoko-daisy "Strawberry Future (English version)" [HAMACIDE Remix]

Hey Takahashi "messes around with drum machines and does some raps".  That's how he describes his music.  He is not wrong in that statement.  He definitely does both of those things, but on a Takahashi tip.

Hey Takahashi is also involved in a "robotic duo" with MaTu-Keen of the Tokyo band, Keen Monkey Work.  He says that he is "maintenance personnel", but we're not quite sure what that means.

This is the soundtrack to a dream. 

There’s a story. A beginning, middle and end. Heroines. Villains. Bridges. Chases. Evil twins. Children. Drugs. And hamburgers. 

Nobody really likes hearing other people explain their dreams. So Tokyo artist Crunchybird made this instead. 

"The Incident at Fallthrough Bridge" is a love-letter to his creative influences. It's an homage to the threaded concept albums from bands like Pink Floyd and Neutral Milk Hotel. It's a nod to the fantastic, genre-bending storytelling from creators like Stephen King and Christopher Nolan. And it’s a hug on the fearless creativity of noise artists like John Zorn and Boredoms. 

Recommended if you like dreamy wordless acoustic folk, uncomfortable beats, epic instrumental post-rock, speedy pop punk, experimental noise, screamy hardcore, children’s choruses and tidy resolutions.

Composed, performed and recorded by Crunchybird 
Produced and mixed by Hamacide + Crunchybird 
Mastered by Keith Reynaud at Heard City, NY

Kyoto-based Kudo Kamome and Tokyo-based Crunchybird (a.k.a. Gregory A. Perez) are both artists on the aptly named record label Twin Capital (coincidentally named for the artists’ respective cities). Through a mutual connection with Twin Capital’s Yusuke Hama (a.k.a. HAMACIDE), Kamome asked Crunchybird to remix a song from her 2011 debut release Mind Party! called “Smells of Flower” (「 花のにおい」). On the original track, Kamome intertwines jangly guitar with plinky electronics, a foot-stomping rhythm, and her haunting, child-like vocals. It’s raw, loose, and full of lo-fi life. 

In exchange, Crunchybird offered a song for Kamome to remix. “The Road Away” is a pensive instrumental from his recent album “The Incident at Fallthrough Bridge” released on Twin Capital in late 2017. Featuring manipulated strings, galloping piano, and burbling alien synths, it seemed like fresh clay for Kudo to stretch and shape into her own style. 

The collaborative split E.P., Midnight Blooming, is a reimagining of two different artistic visions. Kamome’s upbeat and fuzzed out track “Smells of Flower” becomes a darker shoegazer epic in Crunchybird’s hands, with a bit of electronic frost for added menace. Think My Bloody Valentine hitting on The XX at a party hosted by King Krule. In Japan.

“I was fascinated with the idea of turning ‘Smells of Flower’ into the opposite of what it originally was - from loose and playful to more regimented and dramatic,” says Crunchybird. “Maybe even a little oppressive.” 

Conversely, Kamome transforms “The Road Away” from a slow-burn sci-fi road trip into electronic gymnastics. Her version swerves from pastoral ambient passages to a pulsing club vibe reminiscent of something off of Cornelius’ “Fantasma” or Caribou’s blurry genre-bending. All of it is tied together with Kamome’s soaring, ethereal vocals.

“I really loved the dream-like quality of ‘The Road Away.’ I wanted to preserve that but collage it in my own way… lo-fi and loud.”

Midnight Blooming E.P. featuring Kudo Kamome and Crunchybird is available now at www.twin-capital.com, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, and Bandcamp. Crunchybird’s next album “The Damning Logic” is due out later this year. Kudo Kamome is working on “Apple Sleep.”

工藤 鴎芽は京都在住、Crunchybird（a.k.a Gregory A. Perez）は東京在住の、
同じTwin Capitalに所属するアーティスト達で、二人はこのTwin CapitalのHamacideを通じて知り合った。

工藤 鴎芽は、自身の2011年に発表したデビューアルバム「Mind Party!」に収録された、特に思い入れのある「花のにおい」という音源をCrunchybirdにリミックスの依頼をしたことからこの音源が生まれるに至った。

オリジナルトラックではザラついたギターとポップな電子音、足音のようなリズム、そして無邪気な歌声が特徴的な、荒々しくも想像力に富んだ曲である。
ルーズに、遊び心のある、ローファイライフを感じる。

そして、Crunchybirdも同様に工藤 鴎芽にリミックスを依頼した。

「The Road Away」は、2017年にTwin Capitalからリリースされたエクスペリメンタルアルバム「The Incident at Fallthrough Bridge」の一曲で、何かを考え込んでいるような哀愁漂うインスト曲である。
メランコリックに操られたストリングスをフィーチャーし、急速に進むピアノ、そしてポコポコとした宇宙的シンセサイザーが用いられている。

それを工藤 鴎芽自身が自由自在に形作る粘土細工の様にリミックスを施した。

このコラボレーションスプリットEP「Midnight Blooming」はそんな二人の異なった視点から作られたリミックス作品となっている。
工藤 鴎芽のアップビートかつファジーなトラック「Smells of Flower」はCrunchybirdの手により、ダークで壮大なシューゲイザー的トラックに変貌した。
そこにほんの少しの冷淡なエレクトロニックフロストを微細な脅威の様に付加させて。
思うにKing KruleのパーティでMy Bloody ValentineがまるでThe XXをナンパしているかの様だ。

「僕は当初、『Smells of Flower』の自由さを正反対に激変させるというアイディアに魅了されていた。規格化するというよりも、もっと自由にそしてドラマティックに仕上げるアイディアを。ほんの少し圧制的に。」と、Crunchybirdは言う。

反対に、工藤 鴎芽の「The Road Away」Remixはダイナミックなエレクトロニック技をゆっくり昇華させる様なsci-fiロードトリップに変化させた。
彼女の見解はCorneliusの「Fantasma」もしくはCaribouのぼんやりとしたジャンルを曲げる様な音だった。
あぜ道から急に逸れてバブリングなジャングルビートと鼓動の様なクラブビートを彷彿とさせ、全ては彼女の柔らかく空に舞い上がるようなボーカルがそれらを結び付けている。

彼女は「私は本当に『The Road Away』の夢の様な浮遊感が好きでたまらなかった。それを私なりにローファイかつ大胆にコラージュしてみた。」と、言う。

Midnight Blooming EP featuring Kudo Kamome and Crunchybirdはwww.twin-capital.com、Spotify、Apple Music、Google Play、Bandcampにて発売中。
Crunchybirdの次回作「The Damning Logic」は年内リリース予定。
工藤 鴎芽は現在「Apple Sleep」を製作中。
