Solo guitar and song from long-standing Japanese avant blues artist and film actor Kam Mikami with twisted story-telling in a dada-folk-blues form.
 

Mikami, Kan
Juw



Label: PSF
Country: Japan

"Another coruscating slab of truly individualist dada-folk-blues, obliquely twisted songcraft that refuses to pander to the banal realities of contemporary society."-FE

From a March 2008 interview in Japantimes:

What was the aim for your new album?

"I've been playing abroad for the last five or six years. My challenge for this album was to in some way bridge the gap between Japan and Europe, even if I'm singing in a different language. I want to have the same impact on the listener whether they're foreign or Japanese. I don't know if I'll fail or succeed. I'm not singing about God; European music has been drawn from the music of the Church. Even The Sex Pistols played proper chords. They had pretty harmonies, didn't they?"-Kan Mikami



Comes with a booklet of lyrics in Japanese and English.
