This album, "Gravity and Repulsion," is Kenji Fujita's second album, following his debut album "Magnetic Pilgrimage," which traversed various genres such as psychedelia, acid folk, avant-pop, and electronic music, and was constructed using tape collage techniques.
While retaining the fairytale-like and psychedelic worldview of their first album, the vocals and melodies come to the forefront. The songs, created using a variety of instruments such as guitar, piano, and synthesizers, are brought together with the unique texture of cassette tape, creating a sonic world that is both genre-less and strangely nostalgic.
The album has been remastered by Hiromitsu Shoji (soundworm, Tsuki No Wa), who also handled the mastering for the CD version released by MAGIC BOOK RECORDS in 2008.
The illustrations embodying the album's worldview are by Katsuyuki Hoshino, who has created artwork for books and various other media.
Artist Profile
Kenji Fujita
Kenji Fujita is a Japanese musician weaving blurred suburban folklore from a 4.5-tatami room in Hachioji, Tokyo. Under the banner of "suburban bedroom folklore," he pursues an avant-pop style where acid folk and electronics melt together. Resuming his journey in 2025 after a 16-year silence, Fujita uses cassette tape modulation and effects-driven sonic manipulation to layer temporalities-as if tuning into another space from the starting point of his immediate room. Moving beyond simple nostalgia, his sound evokes a hauntological space shimmering with the remnants of daily life and the undercurrents of the mundane. Through a maze-like world of layered recordings, he has established a truly singular presence.
