ASYLUM

Lovers Rock

Lovers Rock no. 12

Info:

Tokyo’s Yoshinori Hayashi Makes His Debut On Lovers Rock With “asylum,” An Ep Of Deliciously Bent Avant-house And Free Jazz-esque Voyages. Hayashi Has Been Making A Name For Himself As A Formidable Studio Talent, And On “asylum” He Offers Some Of His Finest Work To Date. “agent Dissolving Device” Welds Louche Narration, Kaleidoscopic Atmospheres And An Energized Girl-group Hook To An Earworm Groove. An Invaluable Tool For Adventurous Djs, “so Wrong It’s Right” Doesn’t Begin To Describe It. Meanwhile, The B-side Is Given Over To Hayashi’s More Sombre, Quasi-chamber Music Leanings. “burrow” And “the Old Man” Both Use Wheezing, Wandering Piano Figures To Articulate A Mournful, Bleary-eyed Beauty That Seems To Flicker In The Shadows Of The A-side’s Extroversion.
