Continuing on...
Nivhek - ...Walking in a spiral towards the house (signed)
Second part of the W.25th reissue package (Superior Viaduct's sister label). Chimes and resonant frequencies aplenty.
Only a few more unplayeds left to go...
Nivhek - After its own death... (signed)
One of the aliases of Liz Harris (Grouper). Blending effects pedals, delayed vocals, field recordings, and tape loops to construct the usual Grouper atmosphere.
This is one I will seek to own as a DJ record once my no buy Q1 is done. Hopefully it stays in stock in Portland 🤞
[tech house, dub techno, deep house]
Last of the JPN unplayeds:
Asami Kado (門あさ美) - Fascination
Only ¥800 in Kanazawa! Slower pace as it has a more kayōkyoku (歌謡曲; popular songs) focus, yet very DJable for a city pop setlist when a slower cut necessitates the call. Beautiful voice, just like the album cover.
Only a few unplayeds left, as far as I can tell!
Anri (杏里) - Summer Farewells
Only ¥2000 for this OG in Yokohama last year and plays excellent. Will try to find both Timely!! and Heaven Beach to complete the reissue set in a few weeks.
Back to the unplayed queue...
Oval Angle - Figures of Speech
Slightly more kinetic than others on the Moon Glyph label. Doesn't sound as angular as the artwork would have you believe.
