Following the much-talked-about previous album "Dentsu2060," released in 2019 on Lorenzo Senni's Milan-based label Presto!?, and a full decade on from the 2016 classic "BRF-ku," the long-awaited new album from BRF, aka Tasho Ishi — his first in seven years and second full-length, "Tasho Ishi ll" — is out now on his own label T's!!
Track List

This new work "II" is a sequel to his debut album "Dentsu2060," a sound-image record brimming with the critical perspective only Tasho Ishi could bring: a musical translation and reconstruction of "techno-animism," the uniquely Japanese urban culture where para para dancing, anime voice actors, reality TV, epic narrative, advertising and rave all collide. A one-of-a-kind near-future sci-fi Oriental worldview with a Tokyo sensibility bursts out of it, conveying the allure of a raw originality you simply can't put a name to — this is Tasho Ishi (BRF)'s electronic sound, techno and hardcore. Reportage, documentary. 12 tracks in all.
Mastered by Ten Eight Seven's renowned Beau Thomas, cover photo by MARIMO, known for skate photography for THRASHER and others, and pressed by Germany's R.A.N.D Muzik.
