{"product_id":"meitei-komachi","title":"Meitei - Komachi","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlending modern techniques with deep reverence for history, producer Meitei sets out to recapture a “lost Japanese mood.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Beauty manifests in many forms throughout Komachi. Gone are the ghost stories of Meitei’s 2018 release Kwaidan, which were conveyed via raspy spoken-word fragments and gloaming ambience. In their stead are brighter peals, intricately woven with traditional Japanese percussion. Field recordings and the familiar warmth of tape hiss are still present but rarely oppressive, providing a naturalistic undercurrent throughout. Some songs, such as “Chouchin,” sound as if Meitei lifted fragments from an ancient dream and laid them out across the 16 pads of a modern-day MPC beat machine. On other tracks, like “Ike” and “Sento [Pt.I],” babbling brooks peek out from underneath layers of plucks and noise. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/meitei-komachi\/\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3QfrNNsvv0GxBSQvrwwfZQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/1462434-M%C3%A9tron-Records\"\u003eMétron Records\u003c\/a\u003e ‎– MTR002\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/search\/?format_exact=Vinyl\"\u003eVinyl\u003c\/a\u003e, LP, Album\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/search\/?country=Germany\"\u003eGermany\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/search\/?decade=2010\u0026amp;year=2019\"\u003e15 Mar 2019\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/genre\/electronic\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/style\/experimental\"\u003eExperimental\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/style\/abstract\"\u003eAbstract\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/style\/ambient\"\u003eAmbient\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Metron Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456734503070,"sku":"636384","price":39.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/1838c50f9841f47e2b78e60838a9735c4551921b.jpg?v=1646295771","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/meitei-komachi","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
