The first release from Japanese musician Yoshiteru Himuro on
Milwaukee–based Zod Records is a compact and fun
collection of tracks denoting a vivid imagination and
fascination for fast-moving exchanges. Cramming nine tracks
in just a little over thirty minutes, Himuro manages to
create an impressive soundtrack found somewhere between
video games, adult Manga and hyperactive electronica.

Hailing from the Japanese city of Fukuoka, situated in the
South of the country, Yoshiteru Himuro began experimenting
with electronic music toward the end of the nineties. His
first release came in the shape of the Nice Feedback EP in
early 1998, and was rapidly followed by an album, Nichiyobi,
both published on London’s Worm Interface. Himuro returned
a year later with Latest Gorgeous Energy, an album recorded
with fellow Japanese musician Koichi, before seemingly
disappearing following the demise of the label. Almost five
years on, Himuro re-emerged on Australian label Couchblip
with his third album, Clear Without Item.

Mild Fantasy Violence very much follows in the footsteps of
its predecessors, showcasing Himuro’s dense and busy
electronica. Influenced by anything from 8bit video games
and hip-hop to acid house and contemporary electronica,
Himuro creates here the flamboyant soundtrack to an
imaginary computer generated movie. Built around heavy beat
patterns, quirky electronic sounds and tortured noises, Mild
Fantasy Violence is actually bursting with melodies and
atmospheres. With tracks clocking at between three and
four-and-a-half minutes, there is no time wasted in
presentation here. Each track is developed from an
staggering amount of minute sonic particles, incorporating
treated vocals and guitars, interferences and glitches, and
compressed to its most substantial form, allowing for
melodies to take shape and evolve out of Himuro’s sonic
junk................

.........

Although his soundscapes are incredibly dense and compact,
his compositions are not as hectic as they might seem. The
album opens with the uplifting My Beats Your Beats, on which
Himuro wraps up a hip-hop-infused beat structure in layers
of abrasive noises and distinctive electronic tones. Mild
Fantasy Violence, Button Of Reset, Organs Go Out and Sunrise
Sunset all evolve around similar themes, yet each track
shows a different angle, from the chaotic Button Of Reset to
the more subtle title track.

Elsewhere, Himuro explores more gentle and, at times
melancholic, atmospheric grounds. The twin tracks Eat All
and The Cracks In Your Monita especially show impressive
control and maturity. These provide welcome breaks in
between the more energetic compositions and help keep this
album on track, cleverly avoiding sonic overdose.

4/5

Shex is a half-woman, one of the main artists of 19-t. He
is casually from Kyoto, he dropped a full album last summer,
he doesn't like to be a sales man of a garage love. 19-t
isolated him from the society, presented him a brand new
manshion for track making. He now starts getting more
violent day by day but without any violences. Shex doesn't
play live by himself. He normally plays live as 'New
Shinsekai' which is a band, with some more people, using
lots of instruments, equipments, dancers and the solar
systems for making his own world.

he's released on the japanese label 19-t. he's a japanese
guy. check your shex on discogs, but to check the 19-t page
in english you'll have to go to the label site and select
english.

more importantly, shex does not want to be a sales man of
garage love. let's just get that clear from the getgo.
