Experimental pop / electronica / jazz-breakcore shapeshifter 長谷川白紙 returns with 蜜の主 — Mitsu no Nushi, officially translated as “The Owner of Sweetness” — and yes, the genre goblin has escaped the lab again. Performed with the new band ハハとヘアピンズ — Haha to Heapinzu, “Haha and Hairpins” — the track folds live-band muscle into Hakushi Hasegawa’s usual hyper-detailed sonic architecture, like jazz theory being chased through a motherboard by caffeinated ghosts. Taken from the upcoming album 素直な気持ちアルバム, this is brainy, slippery, oddly sweet chaos-pop with enough rhythmic trapdoors to make your headphones file a formal complaint.
