Mah?gakk? is the new album by Hakushi Hasegawa (They/Them pronouns) a musician/singer-songwriter based in Tokyo, Japan, and the first Japanese artist signed to Flying Lotus Brainfeeder label. The record includes the singles Mouth Flash (Kuchinohanabi) featuring bass wizard Sam Wilkes (Leaving Records) and Boys Texture plus Gone with rapper KID FRESINO. Consistent with Brainfeeders ethos of seeking out artists operating outside the confines of genre since the label started in 2008, Hakushis music is tricky to categorize as it straddles a few genres: alternative, electronic, jazz, pop/J-pop. Sometimes its pretty, at times its very intense and fast-paced. The FADER described Mouth Flash as wild-eyed free-associated beat poetry delivered through achingly beautiful melody. Their musics singular character has earned Hakushi plaudits from Crack Magazine, Needledrop (Anthony Fantano), XLR8R, Paste, Jazziz, Bandcamp Weekly, and Tone Glow.
