CMU Approved

Approved: Anchorsong

Anchorsong

Anchorsong, aka producer Masaaki Yoshida, released his debut album ‘Chapters’ in 2011. The follow-up, ‘Ceremonial’, eventually followed in January this year. The record takes his sample-based sound and stretches its arms of influence back through Western soundtracks, Afrobeat, traditional Japanese music and more.

For newcomers, his talents are particularly well shown off on new single ‘Expo’, which is due out on 29 Apr. With a solid drum track as its base, looser percussion, a pulsating bassline and laid back Morricone-esque guitar, it’s a warm, fun and totally enveloping piece of music.

Check out a live performance of that track at the Red Bull Tokyo studios here:
