Iglooghost - Chinese Nü Yr (2015)

iglooghost - chinese nü yr

This was released on Brainfeeder so you kind of know what to expect (wonky flying lotus stuff). Really jumpy, disorienting and fun. One of my favorites of 2015. This is only 4 tracks long but is an adventure from start to finish. Cool little world to get lost in for 16 minutes. The track Gold Coat ft. Cuushe is pretty sexy.

Arca - Mutant (2015)

arca - mutant

Arca is back with another throwback to 2000s glitch era artists. I prefer his more hip-hop oriented tracks such as those on Stretch 1 and 2 (2012).  Most of this is ambient filler but there are some Aphex Twin-esque gems here.

Female fronted japanese thrash. The only thing that makes this stand out are the vocals and the album cover. It's not mind blowing by any means but have fun with it anyway, ok?

Chakra - Satekoso (1981)

Chakra - さてこそ

From blog Public Embarassment Blues:

"Really airy and cute new-wavey art pop from Japan. The synths on this album kind of glide and float throughout each song in an almost ethereal, and even kind of psych-y, way. A lot of Zolo influences too. Chakra almost like a Japanese version of Propoganda, with some parts of the album even being reminiscent of Kate Bush or Descloux. Tropical, quirky, and fun, Satekoso makes for a great listen if you're in the proper mood."

1. めだか
2. ミュンミュン
