Behind the Shadow Drops is the new solo endeavor
from Takaakira 'Taka' Goto, founding guitarist and
composer of iconic Japanese experimental rock group,
MONO. Established in 2016, Behind the Shadow Drops
combines Goto's disparate but commensurate interests
in many different forms of music, most notably ambient,
trip-hop, industrial minimalism, and modern classical.
Recorded at Goto's home studio and mixed with
esteemed producer and percussionist, John McEntire
(Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, Yo La Tengo), H a r m o
n i c merges Goto's dynamic, moody compositions with
McEntire's renowned drum programming and percussive
sensibilities. What begins as a passing resemblance to
the more melancholy work of Goto's ensemble, MONO,
slowly mutates into something otherworldly, submerging
in a symphony of synths, drum machines, noise loops,
and mournful strings (courtesy of Los Angeles
experimental cellist, Helen Money). Resembling
something like waves rippling in the ocean under a
cloudy moonlit sky, H a r m o n i c is as eerie as it is
beautiful - a vast abyss punctuated by seemingly
endless glimmers of light.
