Canoooopy Teams Up With Sima Kim: “Tragicomical Sandstorm”

Here’s a nice bit of international cooperation. Japanese producer Canoooopy has teamed up with South Korean music maker Sima Kim for the moody “Tragicomical Sandstorm.” The track starts out subdued enough – just some finger-snapping percussion, some barely there voices and wisps of synths going by. Yet what seems like a just-drifting-by work suddenly blooms into something that gets pretty big quickly – everything grows in intensity, and then the pair break out what sounds like an opera singer doing her thing, giving “Tragicomical Sandstorm” a powerful ending that makes the relative quiet of the first half all the better. Here’s hoping the two keep working together. Listen below.
