From an observer’s perspective, ‘Asobi’ is a brilliantly succinct album which is inspired by sounds made and/or manipulated by a laptop computer in the tradition of Christian Fennesz, Oval’s ‘Diskont94’, Jan Jelinek, and even My Bloody Valentine’s seething ‘Loveless’.
This album (is) based on percussion, organ, and other instrumental compositions; the source files of which were lost, so many of the pieces are edited and re-worked from rough mixes of the original pieces: like echoes of the originals, all be it distant ones.”
Asobi’ (which is a Japanese word meaning ‘play’) is reminiscent of the warm digital clicks’n’cuts of the mid-to-late ‘Nineties when the only brazenness left in contemporary music was coming out of Austria and Germany in the form of Mouse On Mars, Oval, Pita, Fennesz, and later Jan Jelinek and Radian.
The result is music which occasionally gravitates towards the textural ambience of Pretty Boy Crossover, Qua, or Third Eye Foundation.
