Mayhem was meant to be mended with mystery. There’s always a curious callous at the center that we’re all trying to core away at, but finding the “Why?” — especially in non-visual entertainment, such as music — is always the quest.

But when you find out, “This album features field recordings taken in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Shoji-ko. It was mixed while in the air over Alaska, on the
Shinkansen and on various busses around Japan…” Bastian Void ranks up the production game to heights that journey just as far as it helps listeners’ imaginations. Fall into NIPPON LP:
