Turn Around

Mai Mishio

真綿のような夜

うつむき包まったまま

Turn around

あまたの模様が舞う

美しく絡まったまま

Turn around

羽化を待つ サナギのように

全て溶けて 生まれ変わるように

真綿のような夜

うつむき包まったまま

Turn around

愛を乞う 子供のように

いとわないで 差し出すだけでいい

「悪い癖だ、水をさすなよ」

白いノイズと 重なり合い 甘くささやく

真綿のような夜

いつまで包まったまま?

    Mai Mishio

Eight years since her previous release, "Mishio Lied", Mai Mishio's latest album,"Turn Around", is an ambitious project co-produced with Takuro Okada and mastered by Alex DeTurk, an engineer at The Bunker Studio in New York whose credits include Big Crown Records, David Bowie, and D'Angelo. Alongside newly arranged, re-recorded versions of her signature songs "If You Say So, Good bye" and "Pointless Phone Calls" the album presents a diverse set that reaches beyond a conventional band sound. Highlights include "Cheek Time", which blends Chicano soul with a 1960s Japanese pop mood, and the danceable "Things I've Done", mellow and Tropicália-tinged with hints of Brazilian psych. Drifting between retro and vintage, it is a record that leaves a deep sense of fulfillment after the final note. For the album cover, the artist photographs were shot by photographer Katsuhide Morimoto. Art director Tetsuya Nagato layered photographs and paper, then re-shot them with a macro lens; the resulting image gives the album a minimal, elegant visual identity and serves as its defining artwork.
