专辑简介
"Some music is so beautiful that words even fail a professional music critic, miserably, to describe the state of listening experience it invokes.
And that’s just what the band Sanagi have managed to do with their debut album ?Mish Mash“, and I’m grasping for words. For my composure. For everything. I’ve been completely pulled into this electronic duo’s world, the world of Norwegian Lene Toje (vocals) and partner Robin Sato (electronics), who grew up in Japan. So it is actually quite fitting that the name Sanagi means cocoon in Japanese, because that’s exactly what listening to this record makes you feel like. It wraps you up and transports you into its own beautiful world. It gives you comfort, relaxation, and contentment. If you let it. And you should take the time to do exactly that.
Of course the first thing that comes to your head when you give these songs a quick listen is the glorious days of trip-hop from the mid-nineties. Bands like Massive Attack, Portishead, and the enthralling dramatics of Ruby. Bjork’s ?Debut“ and Tricky’s first solo record are what immediately come to mind. But if you take the time and have the right state of mind to really delve into it, there are simply no comparisons. I have seldom heard such a diversified album that consistently remains true to itself and its style, peppered with such wonderful humor to boot, like in the song ?Pippi“ (Longstockings). It would even make Astrid Lindgren laugh.
"Mish Mash" combines minimal electro, house, pop und hiphop, each in its quintessential form. And Lene’s voice gives the whole thing an incomparable uniqueness. The two of them are apparently having a lot of fun in their world, and to keep it that way, they’ve taken up camp in Berlin, nurturing the hope that we’ll soon have the pleasure of experiencing them live on stage in our city. And if this doesn’t happen in spite of all our wishful thinking, we still have ?Mish Mash“ and the hope that we won’t have to wait all too long for the next album. But what am I rambling on about here. Listen to it. Enjoy it. Be glad. Laugh again.
