“I brought lots of poems I'd written, chose one based on how I felt in the moment, showed it to everyone, shared a few keywords about the kind of song I wanted next, and we recorded as we jammed. '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.”
Having sat in her closet for 29-years, we're brimming with excitement to be unleashing the potency of this record - which has an official release date of on 25th September.
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.
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.
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.
