Kishi Bashi has a video for his touchingly poignant song “I Am The Antichrist To You” and this track is from his debut album recording 151A released earlier this year (April 2012) via Joyful Noise Recordings. After the jump I also have dates for Kishi Bashi’s first (mostly) headlining tour. Peace. Continue reading “kishi bashi // i am the antichrist to you”

I’ve come across a veritable deluge of outstanding music since I began this music blog back in August 2011. And when music is such an integral part of one’s existence you get very picky, developing quite a discerning ear for what will and will not cut the mustard. I came across Kishi Bashi by a fortuitous accident. I was searching for tickets for the Loney Dear show in Chicago with Of Montreal headlining on March 28th at the Metro. But I found so much more, for also on this bill was, at the time an unknown artist, Kishi Bashi. So, I being the curious sort I went looking for all things related to Kishi Bashi and boy was I rewarded. It went something like this Facebook, Twitter, kishibashi.com, and then ended beautifully at kishibashi.bandcamp.com. It was like uncovering a serendipitous mystery of sorts. A mystery, which in the end left me with an incredible first impression of the inventive, and highly accomplished musician K Ishibashi. The Room For Dream EP is four extraordinary songs brimming with enough spine tingling effervescence, upon listening you’d swear your Set-Adrift-On-A-Memory-Bliss. The utter vitality of the music makes you want to succumb to one of the most primal impulses known to mankind. To dance, to move your body and smile. What more could you ask of music than that? I’m looking forward to the Chicago show. And now I’ve more songs to sing along to: Manchester, Bright White, Conversation At The End Of The World, and Evalyn, Summer Has Arrived. I’ll know them all, or perhaps they’ll know me. Also, Kishi Bashi is also working on a new album scheduled for an April release. I’ll be eagerly awaiting. Peace.

If I could take several specific paintings of Michael Hussar, a lock of Andre 3000’s hair, along with a few choice puffs of the Beatles’ Magic Mystery Tour album, place them in a cauldron, and wave Dumbledore’s wand over it, chanting, “Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.” What I suspect would materialize out of thin air would sound exactly like Of Montreal. Of Montreal has released another round of musical spells with Paralytic Stalks. I am more than a bit charmed. Peace.
“Wintered Debts” takes me places without atmospheres of turmoil.
“Id Engager” is so promiscuous, but I like my music that way.
