Ai Aso - Faintest Hint - VINYL LP
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: Limited edition LP reissue of this cult minimalist pop album by Japanese singer songwriter Ai Aso, originally released in 2020 on Ideologic Organ. Ai Aso's immaculately crafted form of minimalist pop music skirts the edges of tensity with the manner and with the skill of a tight rope walker, calmly balancing repeatedly at every step, with a combination of surety and the risk of a slip, a fall, and an unknown uncoiling of events. Aso's capacity to capture, or inspire, the tension and attention from within the listener and observer are quite pronounced. At Aso's concert the performance constantly teeters near the brink, a sharpened awareness in the hall emerges from all observing, with the will of that most delicate balance. On InchThe Faintest HintInch she brings a meta level to the proceedings, the dream of a singer in a bright sunlit room in the centre of the density of the society, simply and precisely searching for single ideas, single tones, a sense of sensuality and even a dream of a grandeur (rock dream) emerge. A stillness prevails, even a sharp set of instances of dreaming, melancholia, nostalgia... or even saudade. The album was recorded, mixed & mastered by Soichiro Nakamura at Peace Music between 2018-2020. Atsuo and I joined these sessions as producers, and moreso as catalysts, yet also became the skeleton of a band on the album (with the tender touch). The legendary Japanese rock band Boris accompany Aso on two pieces. A faintest hint of sharpness and la tendresse féroce quickly erodes into a fine brief cloud of the purest crystalline dust. -Stephen O'Malley, Stockholm June 2020 Album Tracks 1. Itsumo 2. Scene 3. Gone 4. I'll Do It My Way 5. The Bright Room 6. Floating Rhythms 7. Move 8. Sight 9. 0805

Eric Gales' time is now. A rule-breaking, genre-fusing force of nature, hailed by giants like Joe Bonamassa, Dave Navarro and Mark Tremonti as one of the best guitarists on the planet, you'll find the Memphis blues-rocker's thumbprint on everything from his Grammy-nominated solo catalogue to the soundtrack of director Ryan Coogler's smash-hit horror movie, Sinners. But while Gales' latest , Tribute To LJK, is a thrillingly modern record for the here-and-now, it's also a nod to his bloodline and the roots of his family tree. InchI wanted it to be the ultimate tribute to my late brother, Little Jimmy King, to keep his memory alive and make sure people remember who he was and still is,Inch says Gales. InchI wanted to deliver his tunes to the world, through my eyes. And I wanted it to be badass - and that's exactly how it turned out.Inch Album Tracks 1. U Shouldn't Have Left Me 2. Rockin Horse Ride (Feat. Christone InchKingfishInch Ingram) 3. Guitar Man 4. Dont Wanna Go Home (Feat. Joe Bonamassa) 5. Something Inside of Me 6. Baby Baby 7. Whole Lotta Money (Feat. Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith) 8. Worried Man 9. Blues Been Too Good to Me 10. Somebody (Feat. Buddy Guy and Roosevelt Collier)
Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
