New Koeosaeme: “Obanikeshi”

Part of me just wants to note that there’s a song called “Meat Texture” on this album that is pretty much that, and call this post finished. Koeosaeme’s latest album accomplishes more than just offering up the sonic equivalent of squishing some chuck in your hands, but this textural approach to music has helped push the producer up in a crowded community of experimental artists playing around with similar ideas, like Foodman and everyone on Wasabi Tapes. Obanikeshi features some of their most dizzying creations yet, shooting out the gate with tape-rewind-like sounds and a cascade of vocal samples on “Azimuth,” and just not stopping as the album moves on. Yet amongst all this chaos, interesting melodies and an ample amount of dazzling individual moments emerge. Get it here, or listen below.
