Arashiyama, by Lila Bazooka

Arashiyama

by Lila Bazooka

supported by

Hemlock Goblin This album is jewel. The energy is hauntingly beautiful and mysterious, at times flowing at the rate of a tempest and other times creating a atmosphere of thoughtful peace. One of my favorites.

released June 1, 2022

Behind the nickname 'Lila Bazooka' stand Sophie Bernado and Céline Grangey, two artists in search of new frontiers to overcome. With "Arashiyama", they combine jazz and a certain form of classicism, both in love with free experimentation and bubbling sounds. Difficult to classify, the universe of the duo roams the Japanese lands, a society torn between tradition and modernity, where they first found their inspiration while travelling there. Sophisticated and 'carnal', the breath serves as the backbone of this first album with vaporous and meditative contours, erecting a world crossed by a thousand lights and neat poetry, freedom and subtlety, by movements and displacements, softness and energy.

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl

supported by 12 fans who also own “Arashiyama”

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
