Foodman - Yasuragi Land - [Vinyl]

Foodman is Takahide Higuchi, from Nagoya, in central Japan. After remixing Jessy Lanza�s �Alexander� last year, �Yasuragi Land� is his first release for Hyperdub, alive with Footwork-inspired musical freedom and the sense that everything is a rhythm.Unusually, �Yasuragi Land� has no bass. Instead, the album is breezy and refined; hyper-rhythmic music, made with a few simple tools, dances around your head. �Yasuragi� and �Parking Area� feel like gently deconstructed acoustic jazz, while �Ari Ari� is deep house splattered with a cartoonish hiccup. �Hoshikzu Tenboudai� and �Shiboritate� bounce around the speakers like trance-inducing polyrhythmic updates of the New York minimalists, programmed past human limits. �Food Court� is busy with mechanical rhythm and naive melodies, �Gallery Caf� pairs a cute wooden flute melody with micro edited wooden drums, �Michi No Eki� is like a digital take on Magma's complex rock, and �Sanbashi� indirectly approximates 80s R&B. The album ends on �Misyuku�, with a treated guitar lick sounding like it was stolen from Daft Punk, woven into dense interlacing drums.
