Seitō: In the Beginning, Woman Was the Sun (LP)
€16,72
Compilation of modern, experimental Japanese female artists gathered to echo the stylistic richness of the ’Tokyo Flashback’ series issued by P.S.F. in the early ‘90s. Out on the brilliant Akuphone label from Paris.
There’s a new Kiki Hitomi track on there called “Gain and Lose”, her first outing since her “Karma No Kusari” album from 2016! Comes with a beautiful portfolio booklet, Bandcamp download code and Akuphone sticker & postcard! Lovely release!
For the diggers: you can spot the original instrumental dub cut on disrupt‘s “Recreation Room” LP, it’s called “The Souls Formula” – ears peeled!

Seitō {青鞜} gathers Japanese female artists from various electronic and experimental music fields. Like the « Tokyo Flashback » series issued by P.S.F. in the early 1990s, this collection recorded between 2017 and 2019 exposes the richness of the contemporary Japanese underground music scene. The title refers to a cult feminist magazine printed in Japan in the 1910s. All tracks issued for the first time.
The distance between Fuji Yuki’s doomy, noisy tract ‘Blood Moon’ and the way Keiko Higuchi channels Diamanda Galas in the low-lying folk drone torpor of ‘Okesa Bushi’ exemplifies the extent of the LP’s remit, which bows to haunt dub abstraction in Kiki Hitomi and Disrupt’s KMS-like ‘Gain And Lose’, a skunking house workout by Mikado Koda, and the album’s centrepiece highlight, the small sound shuffles of Miki Yui in ‘Radicalv.’
