{"product_id":"shabason-krgovich-tenniscoats_wao_2025_mdl","title":"Wao","description":"Born of a happy accident, the album Wao brings together Joseph Shabason, Nicholas Krgovich, and the cult Japanese duo Tenniscoats (Saya \u0026 Takashi Ueno) for a poetic and suspended interlude of free improvisation. Recorded in two days by the ocean at the Guggenheim House artist residency in Kobe, the album is the fruit of a rare moment of collective grace. Without a plan or score, the musicians let their instruments speak, guided by intuition and the simplicity of an immediate connection forged on stage during a joint tour in Japan. Each track seems to emerge in the moment, without premeditation, like a whispered musical conversation. Saya's fragile vocals, Shabason's jazzy and minimalist textures, Krgovich's melodic sweetness blend with everyday sounds—creaking doors, a distant train—seamlessly integrating into the sonic flow. From this organic and light material emerge pieces like \"A Fish Called Wanda\" or \"Departed Bird,\" tender fragments of a shared moment, where blur becomes language. Halfway between Tenniscoats' experimental folk and the Canadian duo's muffled pop, Wao weaves a delicate, almost dreamlike thread, echoing its title, breathed in a whisper by Saya at the end of a take: \"Oh... wao.\" A discreet but eloquent exclamation that perfectly summarizes the spirit of the album—that of a fleeting and precious human and musical encounter, like a secret whispered in one's ear.","brand":"Shabason, Krgovich, Tenniscoats","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55344515088728,"sku":null,"price":23919760.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0843563170069_24458ad1-e9f6-43c3-a391-cc6b3b4a4a63.jpg?v=1765828065","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/shabason-krgovich-tenniscoats_wao_2025_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
