The project is an outlet for his fragile, otherworldly forays into baroque folk, futurist lyricism and electroacoustic oddities. Born in Tokyo, Yamanoha's first solo record, \u003ci\u003eKazega Fuitara Sayonara\u003c\/i\u003e, was released in late 2014 via Charlotte Courbe and Kevin Shields’ Pickpocket Records. This was followed up with his debut album, \u003ci\u003eHazy Eyes Maybe\u003c\/i\u003e, on ATP Recordings in 2015. His sophomore album, \u003ci\u003eCliffhanger,\u003c\/i\u003e has been in the process of development since, capturing the intimate confessions, which have made Yamanoha's live performances so tender and intense. \u003ci\u003eCliffhanger\u003c\/i\u003e is the latest album from Koichi Yamanoha. There are opaque, semi-conscious pop reductions like \u003ci\u003eAfraid \u003c\/i\u003eor \u003ci\u003eTake Me Down to Coney Island,\u003c\/i\u003e while other tracks state their intentions with open vulnerability. \u003ci\u003eBallad of a Cell Membrane\u003c\/i\u003e is comparable to the tenderness and fragility of Syd Barrett's later recordings, while \u003ci\u003eOrange Coloured Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDiagonal Green\u003c\/i\u003e take their queues from early Radiophonic Workshop experiments, detuned organs and gauzy field recordings awash. Indeed, at its most abstract \u003ci\u003eCliffhanger\u003c\/i\u003e is like the incidental music of a 1960's John Frankenheimer thriller, yet there are also touching and expansive minimal acoustic ballads included here. \u003ci\u003eStill Smiling, Final World War\u003c\/i\u003e and Yamanoha's cover of The Misfit's \u003ci\u003eHybrid Moments\u003c\/i\u003e particular successes on an LP which is both nostalgic and challenging in equal measure. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Some Other Planet Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50471750336843,"sku":"1041233","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/483dc709-b84e-4463-90e6-fc31601e9d80_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727411430"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/some-other-planet-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
