about

"aus seems to cocoon you in a more electronically gestated web that is breathtaking from start to finish. Gorgeous" - Boomkat

Yasuhiko Fukuzono is a mere 23 years of age, and already he has put his name to a quite substantial body of work, developing his production talents from glacial electronic experimentation to pure vocal pop. This latest cd shows a sensitive side to Fukuzono's production and slots in perfectly to the Moteer core sound. Tempered glitches and subtle melodies are draped with ethereal pads and utterly charming female vocals, and it comes as little surprise to hear that the musician moonlights as a soundtrack producer.
Indeed there is something delicately cinematic about 'Curveland', and not in the way you might think - there's none of the menace of Angelo Badalamenti or the forced grandeur of John Williams here, rather we are treated to the soundtrack to a simple film about love, say Brief Encounter or fittingly Lost in Translation. Unlike his contemporaries in the Japanese scene, he seems to fit in perfectly with Moteer's pastoral and unashamedly British vision - long green grass, knitted sweaters and hot cups of tea. This bright-eyed homespun sentiment is exactly what makes 'Curveland' so hard to forget - so don't resist, let Fukuzono wrap you up with the most gorgeous audio this side of Tokyo.
