The AM: November 14, 2022

This week's AM leans towards contemporary classical for its first half, exploring some experimental sounds and noisy reinterpretations before Caribou launches the episode into pop territory for its second half. Psych-rock, indie, plenty of Can-con—and any week with new Yo La Tengo is a good week. Enjoy.

► LISTEN to this Playmoss playlist: Good Fridays by AKKAN Akkan is the electronic duo formed by BeGun and Ocellot, both from Barcelona. On February 18th, they are set to debut on the label of our friends La Belle Records with the EP "Bananat," a work in which underground psychedelic club-oriented vibes fuse together with spontaneous single-take recordings to build an idiosyncratic spell of trippy melodies and ethnic rhythms. 

Akkan have prepared a warm and laid-back playlist that will take us from Tokyo, Mumbai and Istanbul to Paris and New York via Riga and Bucharest. An excellent selection of tracks full of hidden gems and classics in which polyrhythms and psychedelic airs are the norm.

VA - Somewhere Between: Mutant Pop, Electronic Minimalism & Shadow Sounds of Japan 1980​-​1988 - Light in the Attic always let you know exactly what’s on this compilation, right in the title (Cherry Red, too)

Somewhere Between: Mutant Pop, Electronic Minimalism & Shadow Sounds of Japan 1980–1988 hovers vibe–wise between two distinct poles within Light In The Attic’s acclaimed Japan Archival Series—Kankyō Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980–1990 and Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1976–1986. All three albums showcase recordings produced during Japan’s soaring bubble economy of the 1980s, an era in which aesthetic visions and consumerism merged. Music echoed the nation’s prosperity and with financial abundance came the luxury to dream. Sonically, Somewhere Between mines the midpoint between Kankyō Ongaku’s sparkling atmospherics and Pacific Breeze’s metropolitan boogie. The compilation encompasses ambient pop, underground electronics, liminal minimalism and shadow sounds—all descriptors emphasizing the hazy nature of the nebula. Out–of–focus rhythms wear ethereal accoutrements, ballads are shrouded in static, and angular drums snake skyward on transcendent tones. From the Avant–minimalism of Mkwaju Ensemble and Yoshio Ojima, to the leftfield techno-pop of Mishio Ogawa and Noriko Miyamoto (featuring members of YMO), and highlights from the groundbreaking Osaka underground label Vanity Records, these are blurry constellations defying collective categorization. These tracks also exist in a space of transition when the major label grip on the Japanese recording market began to give way to the escalation of independents. Thanks to the idyllic economic climate and innovations in domestically–manufactured music gear, creators on the edges were empowered to focus on satisfying their artistic visions in the open headspace of home studios. While labels like Warner Music and Nippon Columbia explored new sounds through traditional channels, it was possible for Vanity, Balcony and other indie labels, not to mention self–released artists like Ojima and Naoki Asai, to publish their work via affordable media such as cassettes, 7" vinyl, and flexi–discs. Expertly curated by Yosuke Kitazawa and Mark “Frosty” McNeill (dublab), Somewhere Between is a collection of music, much of it released for the first time outside Japan, that is bound more by energetic vibration than shared history, genre or scene. They are the sounds of transition and searching—a celebration of the freedom found in floating.

FROM THE ARCHIVES - 2018 Midori Takada is a composer and percussionist from Tokyo, whose prolific work is characterised by its minimalism, uniquely rich texture and elegance. Exposed to African drumming while living in Berlin in 1980s sparked a life-long relationship with the sound and past work includes Mkwaju Ensemble and collaboration with musicians from around Africa and Asia, including Kakraba Lobi from Ghana and Korean zither player Chi Seong-Ja. The overwhelming success of reissues on WRWTFWW in 2017 have just just how loved Midori's work is and has thankfully led to an influx of European live dates. Rarely know to give interviews in English, or curate mixes we're blessed to offer both here. Read her words, translated into Japanese, alongside Midori's selection consisting of music that she either produced solo and with others or albums she featured on. Interview: https://ift.tt/3ewTeQg
