If I start telling you about an exciting new artist who’s proposing to add a dose of spirituality to visually-based instrumental music experiments… you’ll promise not to run in the other direction, right? Good, just checking.
Through a series of unlikely collaborations, artist Maria Takeuchi has given New York something we least expected. An insertion of the mysterious and appreciation for spiritual distance in new EP “Doppelgänger.” The record feels like the soundtrack to an unreleased David Fincher film, complete with dense noise-scapes and percussive vocoding. As she’s prone to: Takeuchi creates music for “Doppelgänger” you can see as much as listen to.
So, please don’t be afraid. The music may exist in it’s own world, but it’s a place you’ll want to visit too. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
