Hopefully I'm not going to have to resort to silly tactics to get through this one... Here goes...Okay AUS had a disc out the other week on Moteer and this week they have one out on Music Related. 'Sonorapid' treads similar ground. Well that's their sound I suppose. They do the whole melodic electronic thing well. A dreamy blend of awkward rhythms and breathy female vocals that will appeal to fans of Mum. The production is shimmering. If you liked the last album then you'll be into this one (A lazy comment I know but I'm in the mood for something a little dirtier).
you’ve been up all night. your ready to crash. but it’s not time yet. the best part of the day is coming up. time to sit by the window, or outside on the closest hillside. the sun breaks over the horizon, and your ready for another day. “sonorapid” by tokyo’s “aus” is the soundtrack to this moment. shimmering electronics, soft vocals, and the sunrise. intricate drum programming, subsonic frequencies, and female vocals are the plan. the sound of urban bedroom pop.
press quotes:
“Aus’s Sonorapid is tailor-made for those who prefer their electronic music warm and soothing rather than abrasive and chilling. Tokyo artist Yasuhiko Fukuzono’s tracks shimmer like summer haze lifting off a desert highway and glistens like sunlight sparkle reflecting off a gently rippling lake. Don’t get the wrong impression, though: while the tone may be placid on the dreamy meditation “It’s Tomorrow Already,” Aus’s intricately programmed material is typically uptempo and bursting with activity. To Fukuzono’s credit, Sonorapid manages to be delectably pretty without sounding vapid in the process.” - Textura.org
“while Aus didn’t immediately jump out at me, I found myself returning to it time and time again, just to cool off. Turns out it’s an amazing little record. 9 songs, 42 minutes. All of it just wonderful, quiet beauty. The band is actually one guy - Yasuhiko Fukuzono from Tokyo. This is his third record, and I haven’t yet had the opportunity to hear his others yet. His latest, Sonorapid is just wonderful. Everyone I play it for falls in love with it. I mean, what’s not to like? Listen for yourselves. It’s quite delicate and sparse, but never cold or informal. It’s like a nice glass of lemonade, and not in some old fashioned country kinda way.” - Music For Robots
