New Hentonacyoyu: Eisha Shitsu
Jazz — like 8-bit music — has factored into plenty of juke over the years, so what Hentonacyoyu does on Eisha Shitsu isn’t trailblazing. But they do it really well across these five original tracks. Hentonacyoyu sprinkles the sort of piano and guitar melodies you expect to hear in film scenes set in smoky bars over the first few songs, while also letting modern drum machine beats volley around too. Acid bass squiggles in on “Usuzumi,” but after that it is back to piano-based melodies, even if they get blurred up on closer “Wa.” Get it here, or listen below.
