Limited Edition of 200 copies.Come with beautiful handmade jacket(the best work i even seen) and thick heavy vinyl.
Beguiling, strange, enchanting and supernatural are perhaps descriptions that could easily be applied to Japanese fuzzy folkster Aritomo. The accompanying press release admits to it being nigh on impossible to describe exactly what is going on and who are we to disagree though one thing we are in unison about is that this release - given the chance to unfurl and breath - may just se itself being a surprise late comer finding its way to sneaking into a few end of year lists. Principally for fans of Deerhoof, Damon and Naomi with Ghost and Animal Collective, to date the multi talented (he’s a painter and sculpture when not crafting willowy dream montages) Aritomo has somehow managed to sneak out two full lengths this year alone in the shape of ‘Saku Ena - Blooming the Ena’ and ‘Kowai komorebi - fearful sunshine filtering through foliages’
'Japanese Folk' is how Aritomo reluctantly describes his music. Certainly, there's a lot of Japan floating around in there and the overall feel is suitably calming and reflective. Aritomo believes that most people don't really listen to music anymore, not like they used to. But, I have to disagree there and hope that he's wrong because Aritomo's music HAS to be heard and re-heard to get the true benefit from his unusual but absorbing take on 'folk'.
Aritomo won't win many prizes for his vocal work but I really don't think that's what this is all about - Aritomo makes music for the senses - he creates tapestries of sound, full of texture and aural colour. Ok, his work does tend be a little removed from the 'norm' and it's definitely not commercial in the true sense of the word. What his music does do is it creates visions, generates feelings, conjures up worlds outside our own. It's mind music - it's instrumentally poetic and I see Aritomo's voice as just another instrument to add an extra dynamic to the soundscape. It matters not what Aritomo sounds like and it probably matters even less what his words are saying - it's all just another brick in the wall and that wall is a modern day Bayeux tapestry that doesn't so much hang in your vision as sit somewhere inside your own mind and allows itself to be shaped and moulded by incoming 'sound'. Aritomo provides the stitches for the tapestry and then allows the listener to create his/her own Bayeux
