Miho Hatori
Miho Hatori (straight out of purgatory) released her first album, Ecdysis, in Japan last year, and it just recently came out in the US. It's a delight, encompassing a range of global and stylistic influences. It's hard to avoid the temptation to compare this to her Cibo Matto bandmate Yuka Honda's solo albums - Honda is more overtly experimental and deliberately unsettling, while Hatori seems more about blending sources into a pop pastiche that seems familiar and unique at the same time. Neither have released anything that captures lightning in a bottle like Stereotype A, but this record comes tantalizingly close.
Miho Hatori - Barracuda
Miho Hatori - Sweet Samsara Part II
Recently on Comfort Radio:
Coldcut - Eine Kleine Hedmusic
Lo'Jo - Si Jamais si
Dynamite D - Basmati Beatdown
