[Black Vinyl] A huge hit! The second EP from the much-talked-about maya ongaku, who debuted last year. It features an old-fashioned psychedelic vibe and a mysteriously pop sensibility. The flute melodies carry you far away... The instrumental-driven, extended track “Meiso Ongaku” (sample 3) is also wonderful. Personally, I became an instant fan after seeing her live this year. It’s also great that it’s released by Bayon Production, the label that introduced Kim Oki. Her collaboration with Felbm, a contemporary ambient/minimalist unit from Utrecht, shows great taste. Her masterpiece first EP sold out immediately, so get yours soon! (Shhhhh)
It’s been a year since Guruguru Brain / Bayon Production released their debut album, *Approach to Anima*. Entering a new phase and continuing to evolve, maya ongaku’s fresh sonic approach is a conceptual album built on a rhythm machine foundation and featuring electro-inspired arrangements. Track 1, “Iyo no Hito,” which was released digitally in advance and is already becoming a staple of their live sets. “Anoyo Drive” features an unsettling atmosphere created by the evocative sound of the saxophone riding over a minimalist beat. “Love with Phantom” is a strange pop song reminiscent of a children’s song that you won’t be able to get out of your head. The 15-minute epic and spiritual “Meiso Ongaku” has been performed frequently at live shows. A masterpiece that symbolizes the original Japanese alternative sound the world is seeking!
