An analytical thinker who conveys thoughts concretely with an array of fascinating rhythms and beguiling melody, likely attributable to the early influence of The Aphex Twin and a background in piano studies.
Official label debut culled from self-releases. Miyoshi Fumi is a most absorbing mistress of rhythms out of Tokyo. She knows the art of compelling attention. An analytical thinker who conveys thoughts concretely with an array of fascinating rhythms and beguiling melody, likely attributable to the early influence of The Aphex Twin and a background in piano studies. Produced with a blinding clarity, Tough and Tender shows off Fumi’s perfect control of when to repeat and when to advance, what to hide and what to push front and center. A blister breaks and out bursts drum’n bass, dark maroon organ drone is teased by pitter-patter beats, a soulful groove groans, unable to completely unwind and belt. A brutal cubist with a water colourist’s daintiness. Such texture, so pleasant on the ears. Angular as ice crystals, big bellied as raindrops.
Tough and Tender is available on Kaico.
