Add Date: November 30
Artist: Nihiti
Album: Other People's Memories
Label: Lo Bit Landscapes
Genre: Experimental
Comments: Other People's Memories, the debut album from group Nihiti, described as "a whirl-wind tour through places you've almost touched but never been, from pop hooks and stomping drums to crashing waves of destruction, from gentle cello/piano duets to screaming synthesizers and epic auditory assaults", is impressively genre-bending. Firmly rooted in the darker side of sound, the group ("not a side project of SALEM or Prince Rama, athough one could draw some fine comparisons") experiments with heavy instrumentation, "downward-spiraling" psychedelia, and sometimes present, sometimes not vocals--all of which make up a "post-industrial revolution soundscape". Whew. Nihiti, based in NYC, has apparently been scoring film and theater productions in the local performance scene, and their music certainly has a soundtrack-esque quality. It's quirky, and slightly creepy at points, but worth some exploration.
