CMU Approved
Approved: Mikeneko Homeless x Nagi Nemoto
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 16 March 2016
Since the start of the year, Maltine Records has been rationing out tracks from collaborative sessions between producer Mikeneko Homeless and vocalist Nagi Nemoto at a rate of one per month. Three months in its rapidly becoming a calendar highlight, and the March edition especially, it bringing harder-edged producer Masayoshi Iimori into the mix.
Nemoto’s day job is as one of the ten members of fairly uninspiring pop group Niji No Conquistador, but in this project she’s able to explore and experiment in more interesting ways. Their first release was a freshened up version of Homeless’s 2014 track ‘I Wanna Eat Soba’, which was followed by ‘Purity’, a mix of R&B and pop just to the left of a table with one leg slightly too short.
March’s track is ‘America’, which sees Nemoto rapping while Iimori hacks violently at the smoother edges found in the previous releases. Listen to it here:
