Live From Japan

Live From Japan

3 tracks. The heat of Tokyo — Shinkansen speed, onsen stillness, neon at 2am. World / Latin / Cumbia. // 3 Tracks. Die Hitze Tokios — Shinkansen-Tempo, Onsen-Stille, Neon um 2 Uhr nachts.

3 tracks. One city. The heat of Tokyo in 9 minutes and 36 seconds.

Atsui Otoko — hot man in Japanese. Or: the heat itself. Live From Japan is three versions of the same idea, each one faster, stranger, further from where it started. Recorded in the headspace of Tokyo: Shinkansen speed, onsen stillness, neon at 2am.

World. Latin. Cumbia. Japan. The tags don't quite cover it — which is, of course, the point.

Tracklist

  1. Atsui Otoko
  2. Atsui Otoko — Hot Hot Onsen Remix
  3. Atsui Otoko — Shinkansen Ride

Atsui means hot. Otoko means man. But in Japanese, the order matters — the adjective comes first. The heat defines the man. That's the whole album in one grammar lesson.
