Behind the Shadow Drops is the new solo endeavor from Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto, founding guitarist and composer of iconic Japanese
experimental rock group, MONO. Established in 2016, Behind the Shadow Drops combines Goto’s disparate but commensurate
interests in many different forms of music, most notably ambient, trip-hop, industrial minimalism, and modern classical. Recorded
at Goto’s home studio and mixed with esteemed producer and percussionist, John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, Yo La
Tengo), H a r m o n i c merges Goto’s dynamic, moody compositions with McEntire’s renowned drum programming and percussive
sensibilities. What begins as a passing resemblance to the more melancholy work of Goto’s ensemble, MONO, slowly mutates into
something otherworldly, submerging in a symphony of synths, drum machines, noise loops, and mournful strings (courtesy of Los
Angeles experimental cellist, Helen Money). Resembling something like waves rippling in the ocean under a cloudy moonlit sky, H a
r m o n i c is as eerie as it is beautiful – a vast abyss punctuated by seemingly endless glimmers of light. « hide |
