Description
Foodman is Takahide Higuchi, from Nagoya, in central Japan. Yasuragi Land is his first release for Hyperdub, alive with Footwork-inspired musical freedom and the sense that everything is a rhythm.
Yasuragi Land 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.
Food Court is busy with mechanical rhythm and naive melodies, Gallery CafÈ 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 finishes with Misyuku, its treated guitar lick sounding like it was stolen from Daft Punk, woven into dense interlacing drums.
