YPY主宰レーベル〈BIRDFRIEND〉より、ロンドン在住のミュージシャンGRIMM GRIMMのリミックス7”がニューリリース！ロンドンのアンダーグラウンドシーンで話題となり、MICACHU aka MICA LEVIやLAUREL HALOなどにフックアップされ〈HYPERDUB〉から衝撃的デビューを飾った若き天才KLEIN、そして〈BLACK SMOKER〉よりKILLER-BONGがそれぞれリミックス！！まずは貼り付けてある動画をご覧下さい！
The 2 songs are remixed by south London-based artist Klein (Hyperdub), and Tokyo-based
experimental hiphop musician Killer Bong (Black Smoker Records)
Mastered by Bunsho Nishikawa, who is known for his works with goat and Tenniscoats,
among others.
The ominous clockwork nursery song “Kazega Fuitara Sayonara” (Goodbye When The
Wind Blows) was originally written by Koichi Yamanoha and released under the name of
Grimm Grimm via Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) and Charlotte Marionneau (Le
Volume Courbe)’s Pickpocket Records / Honest Jons in 2014.
London-based Tokyo-born singer-songwriter experimentalist Koichi Yamanoha has been
operating under the guise of Grimm Grimm since 2013. The project is an outlet for his
fragile, haunted, otherworldly forays into baroque folk, futurist lyricism and electroacoustic
oddities. His debut album, “Hazy Eyes Maybe”, was released by ATP Recordings in 2015. A
track “Last Word Is Mine” from the album was used over the end credits for the Aaron
Brookner / Jim Jarmusch directed documentary film “Uncle Howard” (2016), featuring
William Burroughs. His sophomore album, “Cliffhanger” was released in June 2018.
And currently the 3rd album has been mixed and co-produced by Marta Salogni.
The virtual 3D music video for Klein remix has been directed and edited by London based
film maker Kenichi Iwasa. He filmed the footage in Tottenham using Super 8, 3rd
generation iPhone and 4K Camera, and created the zero zone virtual world with glitchy SFX
work by William Cunningham. Iwasa is also known for his legendary Krautrock Karaoke
night as well as being a sought after collaborator throughout Europe.

MY BLOODY VALENTINEのKEVIN SHIELDSのレーベルによりリリースされていたGRIMM GRIMMの曲"KAZEGA FUITARA SAYONARA"がKLEINとKILLER-BONGによりオルタナティブに再構築されたリミックス7”！A面ではドロドロに原型を無くしたバックトラックになんとKLEIN自身が日本語で歌っていて、おどろおどろしいのにどこか親しみもあるような完全オリジナルなリミックスがすごい。バグを利用したような狂った動画も音楽と絶妙にマッチしていて素晴らしいです。因みにこの動画はロンドンでクラウトロックカラオケを主宰するドラム/パーカッションのKenichi Iwasaによる仕事。対するAA面は3部構成のような6分半の壮大なトラック！！深いベースサウンドがスピーカーを震わせ、情緒的な原曲との相性もバッチリ。KILLER-BONGのトラックメイクのセンスが溢れ出た素晴らしい曲に仕上がっています！！
