Hakushi Hasegawa - Mahogakko (Rose Pink Vinyl)

Brainfeeder - BF140

Translucent Rosé Pink vinyl.

Japanese musician Hakushi Hasegawa (they/them) proudly announces their new album Mahogakko for LA-based Brainfeeder Records

Mahogakko, translating to "Magic School," also seeks to make sense of a chaotic, vibrant world by letting itself get swept up in it. A balance of pop and pandemonium, the album is one of extremes, where chipmunk-pitched voices square off against percussion set to speed metal's tempo and volume. Noise and melody, cutesy and aggressive, acoustic and electronic - all come to a head in a process Hasegawa calls the Explanatory Ratio.

Mahogakko finds Hakushi pushing their boundaries to the absolute limit, with hyperspeed jungle and breakcore traded up for the even more pummeling onslaughts inspired by Tanzanian singeli so that they become just another texture in the wild sonic landscapes. And just when your senses are bordering on overloaded, Hakushi gifts you a moment of sweet reprieve before the roller coaster sets off again with hectic syncopations and harmonic jumps not for the faint of heart.

With Mahogakko there is no doubt that this is the sound of a once-in-a-generation artist not just breaking boundaries for Japanese music but global music culture and it will leave you with no doubt that Hakushi Hasegawa is only really just getting started.
