New Tune from Nana Yamato
This might be America’s first taste of Nana Yamato, but the 20 year old artist has been crafting tunes from her bedroom in Tokyo since she was a young teenager. Today she announces her debut album for Dull Tools, the label run by Andrew of Parquet Courts, so you already get a seal of approval before even pressing play. Inside the song you get these careful little guitar lines dancing atop various samples that build in the song’s rhythm; it creates the perfect soundscape for Yamato’s crisp voice to coolly flow in and out of the melodic nooks and crannies. The video seems to pay homage to a studied craftsmanship, which makes sense considering how powerful a statement this track makes. Look for Before Sunrise on February 5th.
