Kemri

Satomimagae structures her world with the solitary sound of her acoustic guitar and smoky vocals laid upon ethereal textures. Her upcoming 3rd album, Kemri, is to be released on White Paddy Mountain this June and is a continuation of her previous efforts. As the record progresses there is a noticeable warmth, as if the temperature is slowly rising toward the listener. Coming back to reality from a suburban daydream, Satomimagae's cold and rational poetry will echo in your ears like a mirror that captures our modern-day lives. The soundscape is more refined than her previous record "koko", by a one-shot play-and-sing style. It was recorded similarly to classic folk or blues records and layered with the use of field recordings, drone, and distorted synthesizers.
Ongoing from her last work, Chihei Hatakeyama cooperated FX-making, and sound-making on this recording.
Satomimagae took in charge and did her own mixing on more than half of the songs.
