Egg Beater [CD] OUT NOW !!
"If Mouse on Mars got totally funked-up, were joined by sound surgeons Autechre, and together somehow captured the pop spirit of I am Robot and Proud, you might end up with something like Egg Beater, the second album by Tokyo-based electronic music duo Legofriendly." Egg Beater is dense urban electronic music with catchy melodies, funky rhythms and densely-layered audio landscapes — music to be enjoyed on different levels with each listen!
The album is available in all major CD chain stores throughout Japan (HMV, Tower Records), in your favourite specialist stores (Warzawa, Art Rock No.1, etc), , through iTunes, as well as through mailorder direct from Intervall-audio.
FORM EP (2006) [free mp3]
Far from 'traditional' dance-oriented electronic music, the six tracks on Form EP (2006) smoothly merge intricately funky rhythms with melodically focussed tunes. With a playing time of almost 34 minutes, Form EP (2006) embodies quirky but determinedly accessible electronic music with some highly catchy tunes, many rhythmic bends & funky edges.
Legofriendly Profile
Legofriendly makes dense urban electronic music that combines synthetic
sounds and ambiguous rhythms. Occupying the spaces between IDM, techno and electronica, Legofriendly never quite falls into any of them. IDM's spirit of experimentation, techno's accessibility and electronica's characteristic warmth come together in music that stimulates the brain and moves the feet.
The tracks on Trail EP by Colombian-born Japanese musician, Nobara Hayakawa, are a bundle of select experimental shoegaze electronica sketches recorded for different projects using computers, acoustic instruments and voice — together they project a journey back in time into what every person on earth can feel as speaking of something deeply honest and real (including irony).
