Flavor of the Week #16

Fujiya & Miyagi
www.fujiya-miyagi.co.uk
( ;D --> They are self-described as being heavily influenced by Krautrock bands, Can and Neu! as well as the early 1990s electronic music artist, Aphex Twin. The origins of the band's name come from a character in the film, The Karate Kid as well as the brand of a record player. The lines "We're not a couple of shadowboxers/Oh/Oh/Just two Anglo-Saxons" from the 2008 track Butterfingers and "We were just pretending to be Japanese" from Photocopier may be comments on the band name and how it is perceived.)

Machinista

( ;D --> John Lindqwister (Cat Rapes Dog, Basswood Dollies etc.) - Vocals, Lyrics | Richard Flow (Vision Talk, Haze For Sale etc.). In december 2012 John and Richard decided to try out a new fresh project beside their other bands. The first result was a cover of David Bowie´s "Heroes", and the band also did a low-fi video for the song. The feedback was awesome from start and the band decided to move along with own written songs. The song "Molecules and carbon" followed the same procedure with a low-fi video and also a soundcloud account to let more people access to the music. Once again the feedback was really good and the band started to have followers on facebook/Soundcloud etc. Also magazines like Sideline, Peek-a-Boo, Elektroskull etc. started to encourage the band.
Xenoglossy
music.juggernautservices.com/album/xenoglossy
( ;D -->  Xenoglossy - The art of speaking or writing in a language unknown to the Orator. Somewhat appropriate for a band already ripping apart Synthpop boundaries, Machinista sprint across the finish line with "Xenoglossy", before "Arizona Lights" even approaches the final hurdle.  Anticipated hotly since the EP debuted in March, "Xenoglossy" acts on the back of one of the biggest selling records we've ever worked with.  To somewhat counter-balance the tracklisting of the EP, "Xenoglossy" comes with 11 original tracks (closing with a popular cover of David Bowie's "Heroes", and NO remixes - we already have some in the works for a later release.)

The A side of the tape features reworked rehearsal takes of tracks which first appeared on the early Downwards 7"s and in 2011 were released as part of the White Savage Dance EP.
