J0N - J0N (1995)

A low-fi masterwork of twisted lullabies and dissonant, avant nursery rhymes from Japan's Shoko Uehara. These songs are made with pump organ, ukulele, cat meows and a child-like voice that seems to trail off course once or twice per song. Apparently there is a performative element lost in her recording--Uehara often appeared live wearing a dog costume. We LOVE this CD, and are tickled to share its dreamy, lilting, entrancing sounds with you all.
