mabanua released his new single “Conflicting” today, Wednesday, February 12th.
Since the release of the album “Blurred” (2018), how do you read Superorganism’s vocalists, Orono, Mariah Carey, and Childish Gambino?
Mabanua has released three singles in collaboration with vocalists who freely express music in various places, including Nicholas Ryan Gant, who is active in choruses and other works, and Otomodatchi, a unit made up of former CIRRRCLE Amiide and Jyodan.
This is a jazzy, lo-fi instrumental piece with breakbeats as the skeleton of the piano raided back swinging over a regular beat. He began production about two years ago but pulled out the songs he had left behind, and overlapped them with the scenery he saw in Taipei and Bangkok, which he visited last year for live shows. The sound was created because I was attracted by the noisy yet relaxed “contradictory beauty” that I felt locally. The “contradictory beauty” is reflected in a song that has a jazzy sound that has been raided back, but is unable to stay still when you surrender to the hip-hop beats. It’s.
Also, pay attention to the piano solos that Bessho Kazuhiro, also known as Pajama Sea, are known as the supporting keyboardist for Ovall, where mabanua belongs, and have a sense of inner “heat.”
The artwork is created by Orono of Superorganism, following the previous work.
[mabanua comments]
I made it to remember the scenery of Taipei and Bangkok that I visited at last year’s live concert. It’s noisy, but it’s somewhat relaxed.
I was attracted to the “contradictory beauty” and made the sound. Music is not just beautifully organized.
