- The production duo will release their debut album on Innervisions in March.
Innervisions has announced that they will release the debut full-length of home-listening act Tokyo Black Star in March.
For listeners familiar with the lead single from the album, "Game Over," Black Ships should come as little surprise. The focus here is on worlds of sound that employ analogue synthesizers and warm, rounded drums. It's not exactly chill-out, as there are beats to be had throughout, but it isn't exactly peak-time fodder either. (Although "Caballero" comes close by its end.) The press release puts it thusly: "At once a nonfiction travel diary, and at the same time a supreme fiction of traveling through the world of imagination, Black Ships comes just in time to transport you beyond our fragile planet."
