♫♪  Yoshi & Komono - Cat Cafe EP

Screams at Uber driver
Like, hand me the aux cord pronto! Kinda unchill of me, but I’ll rate him ★★★★★ plus I got plenty of Cat Cafe to share, a perf-pick for a quick bubble tea run (feelin’ like Taro w/ rainbow jelly today). I plug-in and give my new amigo a reassuring wink. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) On go, candied Jersey riddims pop off, bubble, and fizz over like a marble soda. Lychee flavor. Yum. Have a lick yourself. C’mon, don’t be shy!

First heard on Simon Whybray’s Jack댄스 NTS radio show, the title track evolved into a debut EP for Maltine Records. The label is str8 outta Tokyo, but Yoshi & Komono are a pair of American teenboy producers, from Austin and Seattle respectively (uh oh is indie rock dead ☠ ?). Cat Cafe is such a URL collab effort, like 100%. Artwork is provided by promising netkid Terrell Davis and Sarah Midori, of Kero Kero Bonito, and it’s basically a kawaii #starterkit with team inspo spread out on the table. Like rly tho.That’s the cover art. Get lost in the gloss and glow of a 3d-rendered desktop collage of cat drawings, Japanese snacks, and throwback toys, most notable being the Hello Kitty branded Dreamcast. Total pinkshinyultrablast. Chindamo ends the parade with a bedtime lullaby edit of “Okinawa”, which should help Keith Rankin (and me) finally catch some zzzs. Expect Maltine to enter the bubblegum club sphere alongside PC Music and Manicure Records in 2015.
