This time around, she joins forces with Cairo-based producer 3phaz, pairing her ethereal, floaty textures with his heavyweight rhythmic architecture and sharp-edged electronic grooves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePicking up where Night-Time Birds left off, \u003cem\u003eMonchhichi\u003c\/em\u003e expands Akane’s sonic palette into darker, more immersive territory. The record navigates a vivid dichotomy between the neon-lit, spectral urban pulse of Japan at night, captured in tracks like “Tokyo City Girl” and “Monchhichi”, and the mist-choked coastlines of Tenerife, evoked in “Takatana” parts I and II. With the murmur of a constant sea swell, the album serves as an inner sanctuary—a place for reflection on her own creative mechanics, artistic isolation, and the transformative weight of motherhood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrenching dreamy shoegaze guitars and vintage synth lines in 3phaz’s hypnotic, club-born polyrhythms, Monchhichi bridges leftfield dance music, ambient pop, and raw location recordings. An(other) essential document of Canary Islands sound worlds, pushing the archipelago’s experimental underground further into its own thing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keroxen\/Discrepant","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":58889285271883,"sku":"R5601-9891","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/KRXN051.jpg?v=1792316579"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/keroxen-discrepant-1.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
