Voice Hardcore by Phew.
Phew is a Japanese artist, primarily vocalist, who made a an album in the late 1980s with some of the guys, (Czukay, Liebzeit, and Plank,) from the German band Can, and then a few more well thought of albums in the early 90s. She didn’t release any albums from 1998 to 2009, but has recently been quite active.
On Voice Hardcore her only sound source is her voice. A bit like either a less tune-ey Petra Haden’s “Petra Goes to the Movies”, or, perhaps, more accurately, if Kevin Drumm used voice instead of Guitar and Radio as his sound source.
There is a fair bit of spoken Japanese on this, but my comprehension is pretty much limited to the song whose text is pretty much solely, “domo arigatou gozaimasu”, so I have no idea what any of the lyrics are about.
In any case, it’s great to have Phew actively making music again, and this is a very creative and interesting release.
