LUST (2x12")

Description

Having sat in her closet for 29-years, Gearbox are proud to present City-Pop trailblazer Nanaco Sato's luxurious album 'LUST' Recorded across 1996-97 at Maison Rouge, the album captures not only Sato's truly eclectic nature but also features a vast array of estimable musicians such as Danny Cummings (Dire Straits / Bryan Adams), Brinsley Ford (ASWAD), Dan Boutwood (Iannello), James Denham (Addict), Charles Price (Scissor Men), and many more. It's a record that defies neat categorisation, and speaks to both Sato's prolific and explorative musical career, as well as the unconstrained way in which it was conceived. Tracks span everything from abstract jazz vocals ("Love Trip"), Tibetan folk ("The Sorrow Of The Wind"), psychedelic pop ("Mad Memories") to global rhythms ("Angel Whispers Midnight"), avant-rock ("A Dirge For Coral"), undulating sitars ("Never Ending Love Letter"), funk-rock workouts ("Hell's Bloom"), and much more. Sato has been releasing music for over 45-years with a discography that has seen her work with the likes of Nippon Columbia, EMI Japan, and Bella Union, collaborating with Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymond, who produced her 1998 album "Luminous Love In 23". "LUST' is a complete dream recording, it was incredibly thrilling and fun. I'm sure everyone involved - the late John Renbourn, engineer Akira Fujii, and the now-defunct legendary studio Maison Rouge- would be delighted." - Nanaco Sato Available as a double 140g black vinyl gatefold LP with obi strip and gatefold CD digisleeve with obi strip.
