about

Melbourne resident Sui Zhen’s ‘Female Basic’ showcases her own version of Japanese post-punk through a dreamy balaeric-bossanova filter.

Having graduated from the Redbull Music Academy in London alongside the likes of Daisuke Tanabe & Andras Fox, Female Basic sees Sui Zhen move away from her previous beautiful bedroom-pop on to something more minimal and mysterious. Influenced as much by long sunny days spent in Osaka as nights in Shinjuku record stores hunting for Mariah & Dip in the Pool vinyl, Sui Zhen gives us the soundtrack for a slow-motion, late night disco found somewhere between Australia & Japan.

メルボルン在住のSui Zhen (スイ・チェン)のEP「Female Basic (フィーメール ベーシック)」は、ドリーミーでバレアリックかつボサノバのフィルターを通した彼女独自のジャパニーズポストパンク音楽と言える。

ロンドンのレッドブル・ミュージック・アカデミーをDaisuke TanabeやAndras Foxと共に卒業し、Sui Zhenの「Female Basic」のサウンドは、ベッドルームで作成したような美しいポップ調から、よりミニマルでミステリアスな雰囲気に変化。

日の光を浴びながら大阪の街を歩き回ったり、夜な夜な新宿のレコードショップでレコードハンティングをしながら、MariahとDip in the Poolのヴァイナルを手に入れた前回の訪日から多大な影響を受けて制作されたこの音源では、どこかオーストラリアと日本の間のディスコで夜更けにスローモーションのサウンドトラックを聴いているような感覚にとらわれる。
