Euphonix has started distributing their second album for the first time in about two years. This time, Chris Mosdell is in charge of the lyrics. He has written lyrics for the Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO), Eric Clapton, Boy George, Yoko Kanno, Yukihiro Takahashi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Sheena & Rockets and others. On the other hand, he writes lyrics in a wide range of fields such as movie music and stage music. The scientific and spacey world view of his lyrics is expressed by the electronica sound of Euphonix, who respects YMO while producing music. The lead song "Spaceship Head", with its catchy chorus, is perfectly linked to the sci-fi movie-style music video that makes full use of the latest digital human technology, making it an interesting work for sci-fi movie fans. Overall, the electronic sound is reminiscent of YMO's mid-term, 1980s electronic music, and Yukihiro Takahashi's Meta Five, which makes extensive use of vintage synths.

Artist Profile

  • Euphonix

    Euphonix is a Tokyo based electro and synth pop producer inspired by the electronica and technopop movements of the 80s and 90s. In 2010, he received an award in the Fred Perry song contest judged by Yukihiro Takahashi of YMO. He later contributed tracks to J-WAVE's MUSIC HYPER MARKET and provided music for vocalist Joanna Koike under his alternative project Drip dry eyes. His second album, SPACESHIP HEAD, released in January 2023, was created with lyrics written by Chris Mosdell, a British lyricist known for his work with YMO, film music, and stage productions. For the production, Euphonix crafted the album using carefully modeled vintage synth sound sources within a modern DAW environment, achieving both the warm analog depth of classic instruments and the precision of current production methods. The result is an electronic sound style that recalls mid period YMO and 1980s electronic music while still feeling modern. The lead track, SPACESHIP HEAD, is paired with an SF movie style music video created using advanced digital human technology. In April 2023, the track was selected as the Best Work in the synthesizer contest on the radio program Logic Radio (FM Kyoto), hosted by Hideki Matsutake, often referred to as the fourth member of YMO.
