Product Description
Synopsis Kidkanevil, a Yorkshire-based producer who has garnered strong support from DJ Shadow, Bonobo, and others for his dreamy chill beats that mix street music and otaku culture, has finally completed his first new album in four years! His work with Ninja Tune/!K7's popular band Stateless and his project Kidsuke with Daisuke Tanabe has also been well-received. This album is the soundtrack to a fictional anime depicting the adventures of a ghost child from the underground world in Tokyo. Last summer, Kidkanevil actually stayed in Tokyo, wandering the city while recording sessions with various Japanese artists, and created a conceptual work that overlaps the anime's protagonist with his own experiences. With its charming use of sound, glitchy beats that pay homage to the latest bass music, and delicate melodies that evoke a sense of broken nostalgia, we can feel the unique image of the city that Kidkanevil dreams of. Japanese artists such as Cokiyu, Cuushe, Phasma, and Tetsuya Hikita, as well as Chris James (Stateless) and Submerse, make guest appearances. Media reviews and more: This is the album by British producer Kidkanevil, who freely moves between hip hop, beats, and experimental electronics. Based on the theme of "the soundtrack to a fictional anime depicting the adventures of a ghost child from the underground world in Tokyo," this concept album was created while he was actually staying in Tokyo and collaborating with various Japanese artists. Cokiyu, Cuushe, and Submerse make guest appearances. (C)RS
