The Anamanaguchi’s New Album is Here
Anamanaguchi [USA] Out digitally Oct. 25th // In stores Nov. 15th
Since forming in the mid-2000s, Anamanaguchi have been revered as pioneers in the homemade, video game world of chiptune music: they combine a loud and fast live band with hyper-melodic square waves from hacked Nintendo hardware.
Though the band has always been inventive, [USA] is a significant progression. For years, Anamanaguchi presented an optimistic, overdriven version of art on the internet. [USA] is equally ambitious in its world-building, but it marks a departure that is in part sonic — they employ a much wider palette of sounds and voices, both synthetic and human, than ever before — as well as conceptual: perhaps for the first time, Anamanaguchi confront reality
.
[USA] is still extracting, but you can pre-order it right now from the Polyvinyl Store on limited edition Early Bird vinyl and compact disc while we wait for it all to load.
