_______________________________________________________________________
Much-anticipated new studio album from Kazuki Tomokawa. More
sonically advanced than his last few blats, the canvas here is
expanded by a big band that includes Vajra drummer Toshi
Ishizuka, as well as Masato Nagahata on piano, mandolin and
accordion, Taro Kanai on guitar, Ayumi Matsui on violin,
Takero Sekizima on tuba and recorder and Hiromichi Sakamoto on
cello alongside Tomokawa on guitar and vocals. Indeed, the set
feels a touch more overtly psychedelic than Tomokawaüfs
recent, more aggressively nuanced sides, with long
instrumental passages bracketing his infernal vocal entreaties
in a way that sounds most like the odd chamber arrangements of
Ghost at their most baroque. But itüfs Tomokawaüfs vocals that
remain the focus, with the kind of emotional gravity that is
all but irresistible. Comes with English lyric translations.
Highly recommended.
