Using a tiny toy orchestra behind the whispery vocals of Yoshimi Tomida, the duo's newest CD fills the air with melodies and day dreams. Is it bedtime bossa nova... a sleepytime samba... pillow pop music with a subliminal techno beat? Of course! It is Lullatone! On their latest CD they have added more vocals to their cute, minimalist melodies and managed yet again to create a new type of conceptual pop music. As the title CD's title suggests, the concept for this album is "pajama pop". There are songs for going to sleep, waking up, sitting around on a Sunday afternoon, cooking breakfast, daydreaming, napping, having a coffee or even some milk. All songs were recorded over the last 2 years in the duos converted bedroom studio in Nagoya, Japan. And, to enhance the "recording in the house sound" the album was pre-mastered onto a vintage cassette 4-track machine for extra analogue magic. Let's float away with the pajama pop stylings of Japan's sensational slumber party music makers... LULLATONE! SOUNDS LIKE: "Imagine if Sigur Ros and Architecture in Helsinki were planning on recording an album together, but the studio they was already double booked! Therefore they decided to record it in on of the member's bedroom on his cassette player. Just then Kahimi Karie called, so they said "Oh great, why don't you come over too? We'll have a slumber party tonight," and she said, "Ok." They started recording but it was getting late and they were afraid that their neighbors might complain if they were too loud, so they replaced all guitar parts with music boxes. About that time Kahimi showed up and said "Let's order a pizza, I'm starving." Next they were eating the pizza they got thirsty, but the only thing they had in the refrigerator was milk. Milk has that thing in it that makes you sleepy, so they all got a little sleepy, and then singer guy from Sigur Ros decided his voice was too high for this project, so he asked Kahimi to sing. She did and it sounded great! And then they all fell asleep. The End." -Shawn James Seymour. FUN FACTS: - Lullatone started as a project of Shawn making lullabies for Yoshimi. - The CD features a junior high school girls choir (Shawn's students). - All bass drum sounds on the CD were made from the sound of a pillow. - track number 8 (floating away) is panned in a way that listening to it on headphones while laying down is known to make the listener feel as though he or she is really floating a little (something to do with the balancers in your ears). - "Floating Away" appears as a vinyl 12" on Brooklyn's Run Roc Records with remixes.Need more info?
