about

London-based Japanese producer Anchorsong follows his critically acclaimed fourth album ‘Mirage’ with the rhythmically laden ‘Common Ground’ the package also includes an industrial-chug remix from London-producer and DJ Tech Support of “Remedy”, and a spellbinding re-imagination by fellow Tru Thoughts label-mate, singer-songwriter and producer Hemai of “Common Ground”.

“Common Ground is the first track I completed for the Mirage session. The rhythm track has a subtle African touch. The other melodic elements including choir and harp were chosen and built around the beat, and suddenly I saw the general direction of the album.” Anchorsong says. Commenting on the new remixes he adds: “The two talented producers transformed my own creations gracefully with their unique visions and approaches, which are very different from mine”

‘Mirage’ is a record that evokes hazy soundscapes constructed with wind instrumentals, choirs, and global sonic particles. Building on the MPC wizard’s long-standing tradition of “borderless music”, the album fuses intricate rhythms with minimal yet immersive lush interplays of sound, to create an auditory odyssey. ‘Mirage’ marks a departure from Anchorsong’s previous two albums’ – ‘Ceremonial’ and ‘Cohesion’ – specific geographical references. Instead, the album which was half-written during lockdown and during a time when nobody could travel, sees Masaaki internalise his global influences and worldview to conjure a “vague landscape that only exists in my mind”.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.
