Slowly Minute
For the seventh straight year I will be following my beloved Yankees into the post-season, and in celebration I give you a few tracks from Takahiro Chiba, aka Slowly Minute, a Japanese musician/producer who has recently dropped a new record on the ever-reliable Bubblecore imprint. Who better to lead the Yankees into the playoffs than center fielder Bernie Williams, a classically trained guitarist who has for over a decade been one of the most likeable players in MLB., and who better to bridge the last few weeks of electronic/breaks postings to the upcoming week of new rock than Mr. Chiba.
Produced by Nobukaza Takemura, Tomorrow World sounds a little like a Gastr Del Sol instrumental produced by Richard D. James in a playful mood. It is the sonic equivalent of a broken stained glass window, stunning but incomplete, with fractured spots of light and color that at times requires the patience to imagine a more perfect beauty. Sort of like the majestic Bronx Bombers as they march into October the clear favorites to take the AL pennant with a wounded staff and a tired, veteran-filled roster. Note to Red Sox fans: the latin dwarf in the clubhouse won't help you. The comments button is now accepting hate mail.
