I've been a fan of Miu Mau for years and it's a profound pleasure to be able to finally put something by them out from my little label. That I've been able to get The Leaf Library to remix them as well is just a wonderful feeling.

This is a fantastic EP - very pleased to be able to contribute a couple of remixes to it. Hope you enjoy it.

I've two remixes on this new Miu Mau EP, one as @theleaflibrary.bsky.social and one as Roland Prague (long story). Enjoy!

Oh, I'd never thought about the comparison so directly but I can see it! I think it says a lot about Trish's cadence and Masami's tone that the parallels come across like that even in a structurally quite different language.

It's also a delight and honour to have, in addition to two new Miu Mau tracks, two wildly different remixes of the song Furidashi by @matthewjashton.bsky.social of @theleaflibrary.bsky.social (who CAR-spotters may recognise from the fabulous Afternoons At The Library album with Sea Level).

Motif 21, by miu mau 4 track album

NEW RELEASE OUT 2/27!
Miu Mau have been friends of the label forever and guitarist Hiromi's old band 百蚊/Hyacca were one of the foundational pillars of early CAR. So it's a profound pleasure to welcome them in all their evolving art-pop glory to our label call-and-response.bandcamp.com/album/motif-21

Matt from The Leaf Library has done fantastic stuff with us recently — with Sea Level, our recent covers comp, and on the forthcoming Miu Mau cassette — but their upcoming album is fucking fantastic and will still be up there with your year’s favourites come December. Treat yourself to a good time.

Oh, that was the one I worked on (it's me speak/singing). We actually took "I Should Have Known Better" by Wire as our starting point for the arrangement, but MES and The Fall are a huge influence, so very happy to have triggered the misunderstanding, however obliquely!

Cheers for the shout-out.
Would’ve loved to have someone do The Fall on here, so kind of curious which track you were thinking of. A few of them channel a bit of that sort of energy, I suppose.

I have recorded, and there is no real way to dress this up as anything other than it actually is, a U2 cover.

Want to spend an evening cruising a Bandcamp account full of great music, mostly from Japan, that no one else is talking about? And then spend money on buying 3-5 albums/EPs that you can play to other people and they'll go, "What's this?"

Then I have a record label account you oughtta check out:
