Animaru - Vinyle Marbré Rose

Description

Mei Semones - the 24-year-old Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and virtuosic guitarist - releases her debut album, Animaru, on Bayonet Records. Following the "elegant, pliable, and sly songs" (New York Times) of Kabutomushi, Animaru is the embodiment of Mei's deeper trust in her instincts. The album is a collection of musically impressive tracks where Mei sounds more adventurous, more vulnerable, and more confident than ever before. The heart of the album lies in the skillful balance of tension and release that Mei and her band have achieved. Often, within the same song, moments of stripped-down acoustic guitar, adorned with Mei's infectious vocalizations, transform in the blink of an eye into orchestral waves of strings and intricate guitar rhythms. Animaru showcases Mei's wide range of talents as a songwriter and musician, and includes some of the most challenging and simplest songs she has ever written. For fans of Ichiko Aoba, Laufey, Frankie Cosmos, Faye Webster, American Football, Sidney Gish.
