Nao Gunji Satoshi Tomiie
Radiant EP

Radiant. The title of the 4th release from A_A contrasts with the EP’s delicate, sometimes opaque sonic landscape. Filtered-down kick, grainy lushness of pads, obscure noise, incoherent acapella, and bass that only exist below the frequency band of smartphone and laptop speakers, all contribute to the fiery stillness that drape over each of the 4 tracks included. While the new EP continue to be pinned by the duo’s signature leniency for noise and precise execution of sound design, it sets itself apart from the previous releases by successfully retaining the frail scent of uncontained, improvised performance while remaining firmly within the scope of floorcentric dance music. Limited to 250 copies.
