about

Kagami Smile returns to Sores (Sound+Matter) for a triptych of cassette releases and, as its name suggests, “Sleep” is the calmest and most atmospheric one of the three. Spanning over four tracks of drifting ambient soundscapes, the release focuses on the producerʼs interests in structuring dense, saturated and vibrant drone ambient worlds. Thereʼs no sign of Kagami Smileʼs favorite drowned kick drums and tectonic bass lines here. On “Sleep” atmosphere reigns and it is achieved through layering of comforting, reverb and delay-heavy pads and various sonic artifacts, samples and sonic bits. While “Sleep” is mostly slow- paced and hypnotic, itʼs also not afraid of intensity as one hears in “Your Life in the Mirror”. Despite being a mostly droning ambient affair, thereʼs enough anxiety, vulnerability and tension in this music to keep you engaged and wanting to replay it again and again.

One of this year's best albums from the master of cyberpunk atmospheres. I still can't believe what has happened to him, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he fully recovers, and, much like Phoenix, will rise up from the ashes. FLESH MECHANIC

アンタラ通信

Any avid telepath fan knows he's made some pretty mind-altering post-contemporary, mall setting vaporwave in his discography, but I genuinely think of Antara Communications as a steep outlier to all of his albums. It doesn't even sound like it was created with any actual compound structure found on Earth, but more like was chemically concocted from light and pure ether. It might as well be some kind of strange transmission from another nebula because it's simply out of this world. (pun intended) Quota
