London-based Japanese singer, songwriter, composer, and producer Mieko Shimizu presents her new EP titled Phenomena of the Mind. The EP consists of a re-mastered selection of songs taken from the album of the same name, Phenomena Of The Mind, originally released in 2006, a year after the London terror attacks.
The EP starts off with “Signal Found,” and the theme continues to shattered Dance Hall beats that reverberate to the “twisted sound of broken down London town.” In the track “Black Salt,” a dark melancholic theme floats over fragmented, glitchy beats, compounded by the repetition of “black” which hammers the constant bombardment of racism prescient of the call for freedom that Black Lives Matter.
