12k kicks off its 11th year with a new release that takes the label down new sonic pathways. Caught
between the organic and electronic minimalism that 12k is known for and the unconventional Japanese
pop musings and songwriting style of Happy, Moskitoo's Drape is an infectously strange, bleepy, and
dreamy debut release.
Sanae Yamasaki (Moskitoo) hails from Sappporo, Japan in the country's northern-most prefecture of
Hokkaido. Perhaps a reaction to the cool climate of her home, her multi-instrumental talents bring a wide
range of warm tones and textures to Drape by means of guitar, metallophone, organ, drum machines,
synthesizers and nostalgic toy instruments. Yamasaki's gentle, airy vocals weave between broken beats
and aqueous droplets of sound evoking half-awake memories lost and found.
Influenced by visual art (she painted the cover image), modern electronic music and abstract pop, such as
Eno's explorations in the 1970's, Yamasaki does not set out to write a particular style of music, but rather,
lets her creative process emerge naturally, following whims and experiments.
