\nmp3<\/strong>: COMANECHI death of you (gentleman drivers remix)<\/a>
\nlast year merok<\/a> gave us klaxons<\/strong> and crystal castles<\/strong>, and in doing so, tipped the earth on its axis for quite a few hundred dancing converse around the world. this year, those same feet are going to find themselves abused and bruised with a new crop of signings, kicking off right here with japan’s akiko matsuura and her double-whammy of noise projects: comanechi<\/strong> and pre<\/strong>. matsuura (aka ‘keeks’) last troubled the shelves earlier this year with a seven inch on white heat records titled ‘my pussy’ , but the audio journey that influences her work stretches back to an era dominated by bikini kill<\/strong> and babes in toyland<\/strong>, and even further back through to patti smith<\/strong> and yoko ono<\/strong>. the next release is a split merok 7″, evenly divided between comanechi and pre – and there’s a flurry of remixes on the slate including rubs from scotch egg, passions<\/strong> and gentleman drivers<\/strong>. akiko matsuura’s sound is certainly music without apology, served straight up: both rock hard and impossibly soft, revolutionary and retrograde, the sound of black metal refracted through a j-pop lens. submit, for all our sakes.
