12K
Artist:
SAWAKO
Title:
Bitter Sweet
Label:
12K
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
12K 047CD
"New York/Tokyo-based Sawako is a musician, software designer, and multimedia artist whose multi-disciplinary works intermix and pollenate her music with inspiration ranging from nature, science, academia and poetic motion. Following releases on Anticipate and And/Oar,
Bitter Sweet
is Sawako's 2nd release on 12k after the critically-acclaimed
Hum
in 2005. Her music is fragile and intimate, delicate, ephemeral and resonant.
Bitter Sweet
is unmistakably Sawako but finds itself moving into much, much deeper territory than her previous works. Building on her past forays into experimental pop, she uses low and mid-frequency drones and soft, melodic highlights to shape beds of stripped-down, hypnotic and very linear tracks that fill the space in which they exist.
Bitter Sweet
is more drone and tonal-based than Sawako's previous works. However, these gentle movements are punctuated by field recordings and acoustic instrumentation with cello provided by Jacob Kirkegaard and guitar by Radiosonde and Ryan Francesconi who also co-write two of the pieces on the album. In what has become a bit of a signature, Sawako lends her own voice to the ending lullaby, 'A Last Next.' These combinations produce rich results.
Bitter Sweet
's diffuse and hazy soundscaping is Sawako's most mature work to date, relying less on her previous child-like melodies while remaining feminine and tender. She has come into her own after having established herself for a number of years as a New Yorker where she has tirelessly performed, studied and created as an important member of the city's electronic music community.
Bitter Sweet
is packaged in a 6-panel digipack with photography throughout by Brooklyn-based artist and photographer Maki Kaoru."

Pressed in one-time editions of 300, A Room Forever takes a unique and personal approach to the vinyl record LP. Conceived as a physical manifestation of the Roadside Picnic Radio podcast, the project draws upon the rich history and mythologies of audio recording to produce a final object of art that will resonate uniquely within each listener.

A.i. (UK)
Artist:
DATASSETTE
Title:
Datassette
Label:
A.i. (UK)
Format:
LP
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
AI 021LP
"Seemingly not wanting to be pigeonholed into any one genre, Datassette's first full-length album is an action-packed journey through many different styles and moods that maintains a satisfying quirky inventiveness throughout. Opening with 'Vapour Trails' the listener is bathed in layers of machine-made sonic textures contrasted against super heavy bass stabs, sharp dubstep-tinged rhythms and playful synth passages that wouldn't sound out of place on a Metro Area release. The initial slow-paced opener then migrates into electro territory as the listener is treated to a sparsely populated rhythmbox landscape which is gradually infested by an array of peculiar sounds wriggling their way into view. On the home stretch, the pace slows down a notch with Datassette's take on minimal: 'Damage Report' goes deep and dishes up a helping of contemplative rhythmical chord progressions, percussive pops, clicks and 8-bit bass stabs. Finally, 'Melting Faces' brings proceedings to a close with an electro lullaby that provides a luscious ending to this refreshingly rich album. Influences: Italodisco & electrofunk, Boards of Canada, Vangelis, C64 Music, The Soft Pink Truth, Anthony Rother, Dopplereffekt, Extrawelt, Arovane, Jackson And His Computer Band."
