Ichiko Aoba & 12 Ensemble - Ichiko Aoba with 12 Ensemble (Live at Milton Court)
Chamber mistress, Ichiko Aoba has her fairy-like folk ballads expanded with gallant orchestrations in this stunningly elegant live performance. Songs that have already been treated with live versions are built upon, letting the force of orchestration bring strength to delicate acoustic tracks. A natural reverberance offers space for increased instrumentation, acting as great clouds that Aoba's glacé voice glides upon. Subtle string additions are not transformative, but fashion a unique expansivity to Aoba's Ghibli-esque musical universe. Ichiko Aoba with 12 Ensemble is a truly handsome concert experience, forged in folk and classical magnificence.
betcover!! - 画鋲 (Live at WWWX, Shibuya, 2023)
Stirring electric guitar, buoyant drums, fastidious keys and enthused vocals supply fiery Jazz Rock on the Japanese band's second live album. The performance begins with the group's most upbeat, flamboyant tracks, elevated by feisty piano playing and whirring progressions. As the live show reaches its end, the band's full potential for drama is at display, as extended versions of guitar solos, drum breaks and vocal shrieks fulminate Artful vigor. A much clearer production than their first live LP, betcover!! continues their ascent in Rock with their most potent performance to date.
