Ikebana,
the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement, calls for
dedication, imaginativeness and love for the basic material. Ikebana
aims at harmony, drawing from shape, rhythm and colour.
Guided by the same principles, Lemongrass presents the brand-new album “Ikebana” (on his own label Lemongrassmusic) which paves the way for new musical expressions and thoroughly captivates as well-measured extravaganza.
Right
from the first listening you happily indulge in numerous vocal-based
songs. Supported by Japanese singers Mayu Kawata and Yuko Matsuyama,
all 15 tracks interweave the most diverse musical elements and styles
ranging from 1970s- inspired pop and disco, French House and breakbeats
up to orchestral ballads and cinematic ambient tracks.
The
elaborate composition, atmospheric intensity, filigree diversity of
rhythms and the ocean of sound colours make „Ikebana“ an outstanding
effort. With countless breaks, recurrent subtle changes in speed, an
inexhaustible reservoir of sounds and samples and two extraordinary
singers, Lemongrass have reached the height of their creativity. Magic!
