Softly dressed in a color-coordinated raincoat
Made from lightweight corrugated nylon
That's your perfection
Sharply dressed in a color-coordinated raincoat
Made from corrugated nylon
That's your perfection
Saw your picture in lo-fi texture
Ambidextrous and softly unfolding
Pixels broken, and rays wide open
I'll let it ride
So won't you tell me what you've been listening, lo-fi girl?
Late night, streetlights, illuminating the Shanghai skyline
So won't you tell me what you've been listening, lo-fi girl?
You've got your favorite vanilla-flavored sweetened coffee
Lo-fi girl
Paisley design on the paper cup
Saw your picture in lo-fi texture
Ambidextrous and softly unfolding
Pixels broken, and rays wide open
I'll let it ride
So won't you tell me what you've been listening, lo-fi girl?
Late night, streetlights, illuminating the Shanghai skyline
So won't you tell me what you've been listening, lo-fi girl?
You've got your favorite vanilla-flavored sweetened coffee
You've got your favorite sweetened coffee, lo-fi girl
But under the sunless sky,
An unsweetened heart
Unsweetened heart
So won't you tell me what you've been listening, lo-fi girl?

Corrugated Nylon
Gaku Kano
"Corrugated Nylon"
A track written, performed, and recorded entirely by multi-instrumentalist and sound creator Gaku Kano, featuring drums, synthesizers, vocoder, bass, and more, all played by Gaku himself. On the drums, the track takes trap beats originally rooted in programmed rhythms and brings them to life through human performance.
One of the tracks charms lies in the contrast between the heavy, weighty drum beat created by slowing down the tape speed during recording and the rhythmic and pop-sounding melody floating over thick layers of synthesizers.
This is a pre-release single from Gaku Kanos album Experimental Jazz II, a project that explores and incorporates a wide range of genres. Including Neo-Soul, Hip-Hop, and Indie Rock etc. while keeping Jazz as its foundation.
