Yoshimi 's OOIOO is releasing a new album via Thrill Jockey called nijimusi . A single from the album titled "jibun" reveals exactly what is to be expected from OOIOO: playful instrumental navigation anchored by remarkable rhythmic acuity. It's like dreamy, minimalist academia. There's a glorious swell of instrumentation that breaks up the track midway, swinging low end and rapid snare fills carrying this melodic blanket of guitar sound. The latter half of the song is more vocal and exploratory, OOIOO leaning into a few more ideas that don't deviate too much from "jibun"'s initial melodic theme. You can check out the track below.

Last month, I posted about OOIOO 's upcoming new album, Gamel , and its first single, "Atatawa."   Today, a new single called "Jesso Testa" hit the web and it previews another upbeat and perfectly strange performance from the album, some excellent guitar phrasing alongside rallying vocals and odd moments of haphazardly slung bass tone worked into the traditional style of Javanese gamelan.  I'm really interested to hear Gamel in its entirety.   You can check out the track here: All info comes courtesy of Thrill Jockey Records.

Yoshimi P-We 's improv outfit, OOIOO , is releasing their latest album, Gamel , June 30th through Thrill Jockey Records.  The first single surfaced today and it does not disappoint.  With a rhythmic draw and a referential debt to Japanese antiquity, "Atatawa" is a fascinatingly off-kilter and sugar sweet listen.  Check out the track here: All info was provided by Thrill Jockey Records.
