The project of Koreyuki Mitsunaga, Gratin Carnival started in 2011; Mitsunaga had been home recording for some time and decided on the name as an umbrella for his music-making. Mitsunaga’s main instruments are guitar, which he uses to great effect throughout, his gorgeous acoustic playing reminiscent of players like Ueno Takashi of Tenniscoats or João Gilberto, and alto saxophone and clarinet. Those three instruments make up the core of Gratin Carnival’s sound, along with Mitsunaga’s charmingly doleful singing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRecording at his parents’ home, with a four-track cassette recorder and a MacBook, Mitsunaga created Such December during 2020, though the songs on it stretch back to 2016. The closing “On The Train” was the first song written for the album – “a song about a small trip,” Mitsunaga recalls – and from there, he built a beautiful collection of songs that sit together perfectly. There’s great clarity in Mitsunaga’s writing, with nothing extraneous getting in the way of the lucid arrangements and gorgeous melodies; there’s something of chamber jazz about it at times, so it’s no surprise that Mitsunaga shares his love of Benny Goodman’s small group playing.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Gratin Carnival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Alien Transistor\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-11-06T17:08:47+09:00","created_at":"2023-11-04T15:33:09+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["Alien Transistor","folk \/ left-field pop","jazz","lp","new","recommended"],"price":399800,"price_min":399800,"price_max":399800,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44728527290618,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"グラタンカーニバル Gratin Carnival \/\/ そんな12月 Such December LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":399800,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/dec1_05823749-a01a-473d-a129-507d38d899bc.jpg?v=1699079591","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/dec2_a3f2d1dc-fdf0-4186-a41f-cb9cc3772994.jpg?v=1699079591"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/dec1_05823749-a01a-473d-a129-507d38d899bc.jpg?v=1699079591","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32641621721338,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/dec1_05823749-a01a-473d-a129-507d38d899bc.jpg?v=1699079591"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/dec1_05823749-a01a-473d-a129-507d38d899bc.jpg?v=1699079591","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":32641621754106,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/dec2_a3f2d1dc-fdf0-4186-a41f-cb9cc3772994.jpg?v=1699079591"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/dec2_a3f2d1dc-fdf0-4186-a41f-cb9cc3772994.jpg?v=1699079591","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e日本のフォーク・ポップ作家グラタンカーニバル aka 光永これゆきが、2023年10月にドイツのポップレーベル\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAlien Transistorからリリースした再発レコードです。（オリジナルは2020年リリース）\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e素朴でほっこりするフォーク・ポップ〜ボサ・フォーク10曲を収録。DLコード付属。 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTenniscoatsが好きな方にオススメします。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3396874632\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3396874632\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=3149823190\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3396874632\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=3831526933\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3396874632\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=3453088098\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/altrr\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/altrr\"\u003eher\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/emsp\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/emsp\"\u003ee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e to see more \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAlien Transistor releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" black vinyl.

For this is, indeed, music based in, and resonating with, friendship, camaraderie, collaboration, and creative exchange. Across two albums – one documenting recordings from Tokyo, the other an expansive double album of sessions from Kobe – Hochzeitskapelle gather around them some of the finest voices in Japanese independent and underground pop music, like Tenniscoats, Eddie Marcon, Yuko Ikema, and Kama Aina, and explore an open field of music, full of creative encounters.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou may already know Hochzeitskapelle as the German instrumental quintet formed by members of The Notwist, Alien Ensemble, and friends from the jazz scene. Across three albums, one a collaboration with Kama Aina (2018’s Wayfaring Suite), they’ve developed a way of playing together that’s intimate and playful, rich and human; it’s a music that’s deliberately rough around the edges, and that nestles cosily into the everyday. Their relationship with Japanese indie has developed over the years, doubtless encouraged by member Markus Acher’s Minna Miteru series of compilations of Japanese indie pop for Morr Music. A peripatetic gang, Hochzeitskapelle also recently backed Japanese singer-songwriter Makoto Kawamoto\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e on her new album, Hikari.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn many ways, The Orchestra in the Sky feels like the culmination of a set of ongoing cross-cultural exchanges: the Minna Miteru compilations; tours of Japan by Hochzeitskapelle and The Notwist; and indeed, Markus Acher’s Spirit Fest group with Saya and Ueno of Tenniscoats. The latter are present throughout much of The Orchestra in the Sky, and Saya’s voice is particularly winning on songs like “Tsuki no oto”, where the two outfits are joined by brass ensemble Zayaendo. There are several lovely turns from singer-songwriter Yuko Ikema, and Eddie Marcon appear twice; their songs are still beautiful, spectral acid folk, but with Hochzeitskapelle filling the details with lush, sad brass and strings.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut it’s also the potentially lesser-known names that shine through The Orchestra in the Sky, like the frail folk of Gratin Carnival; the delightful, gentle pop songs by sekifu and Zayaendo member, Kanako Numata; a trio of beautiful, stumble-drunk melodies played in swaying consort with popo. That group, along with the presence of Zayaendo, Fuigo, and Mitamurakandadan?, make strong connections with the Japanese underground’s love of brass bands, partly informed by the tradition of chindon’ya, marching bands that walk the streets of Japanese cities. They also all appeared on the recent Alien Parade Japan compilation of such groups, assembled by Acher and Saya.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll things converge, then, on The Orchestra in the Sky, a smart, spirited collection of heavenly pop songs, intimate folk melodies, lungfuls of joyous brass, deep weeping strings, and swooning sighs. The last words go to Acher himself: “Many things we did in the last years come together here and it feels like something special was captured.” We hope you like what you hear.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Hochzeitskapelle + Japanese Friends \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Alien Transistor\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-12-09T14:02:45+09:00","created_at":"2023-12-09T13:57:24+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["Alien Transistor","folk \/ left-field pop","lp","new"],"price":598000,"price_min":598000,"price_max":598000,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44863932629242,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Hochzeitskapelle + Japanese Friends \/\/ The Orchestra In The Sky [Kobe Recordings] 2xLP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":598000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a1104411151_16.jpg?v=1702097875","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822462_10.jpg?v=1702098131","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822458_10.jpg?v=1702098131","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822460_10.jpg?v=1702098131"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a1104411151_16.jpg?v=1702097875","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32814129873146,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a1104411151_16.jpg?v=1702097875"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a1104411151_16.jpg?v=1702097875","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":32814130528506,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822462_10.jpg?v=1702098131"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822462_10.jpg?v=1702098131","width":1200},{"alt":null,"id":32814129938682,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822458_10.jpg?v=1702098131"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822458_10.jpg?v=1702098131","width":1200},{"alt":null,"id":32814130036986,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822460_10.jpg?v=1702098131"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0033822460_10.jpg?v=1702098131","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eドイツのジャズクィンテットHochzeitskapelleが、2023年12月に同国ポップレーベルAlien Transistorからリリースした2枚組レコードです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e日本の地下フォーク作家たちと共作したフォーク〜ジャズ16曲を収録。DLコード付属。 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2924051925\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/altrr\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/altrr\"\u003eher\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/emsp\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/emsp\"\u003ee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e to see more \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAlien Transistor releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e--------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 x 12\" black vinyl.

For this is, indeed, music based in, and resonating with, friendship, camaraderie, collaboration, and creative exchange. Across two albums – one documenting recordings from Tokyo, the other an expansive double album of sessions from Kobe – Hochzeitskapelle gather around them some of the finest voices in Japanese independent and underground pop music, like Tenniscoats, Eddie Marcon, Yuko Ikema, and Kama Aina, and explore an open field of music, full of creative encounters.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou may already know Hochzeitskapelle as the German instrumental quintet formed by members of The Notwist, Alien Ensemble, and friends from the jazz scene. Across three albums, one a collaboration with Kama Aina (2018’s Wayfaring Suite), they’ve developed a way of playing together that’s intimate and playful, rich and human; it’s a music that’s deliberately rough around the edges, and that nestles cosily into the everyday. Their relationship with Japanese indie has developed over the years, doubtless encouraged by member Markus Acher’s Minna Miteru series of compilations of Japanese indie pop for Morr Music.

Across three albums, one a collaboration with Kama Aina (2018’s Wayfaring Suite), they’ve developed a way of playing together that’s intimate and playful, rich and human; it’s a music that’s deliberately rough around the edges, and that nestles cosily into the everyday. Their relationship with Japanese indie has developed over the years, doubtless encouraged by member Markus Acher’s Minna Miteru series of compilations of Japanese indie pop for Morr Music. A peripatetic gang, Hochzeitskapelle also recently backed Japanese singer-songwriter Makoto Kawamoto\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e on her new album, Hikari.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn many ways, The Orchestra in the Sky feels like the culmination of a set of ongoing cross-cultural exchanges: the Minna Miteru compilations; tours of Japan by Hochzeitskapelle and The Notwist; and indeed, Markus Acher’s Spirit Fest group with Saya and Ueno of Tenniscoats. The latter are present throughout much of The Orchestra in the Sky, and Saya’s voice is particularly winning on songs like “Tsuki no oto”, where the two outfits are joined by brass ensemble Zayaendo. There are several lovely turns from singer-songwriter Yuko Ikema, and Eddie Marcon appear twice; their songs are still beautiful, spectral acid folk, but with Hochzeitskapelle filling the details with lush, sad brass and strings.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut it’s also the potentially lesser-known names that shine through The Orchestra in the Sky, like the frail folk of Gratin Carnival; the delightful, gentle pop songs by sekifu and Zayaendo member, Kanako Numata; a trio of beautiful, stumble-drunk melodies played in swaying consort with popo. That group, along with the presence of Zayaendo, Fuigo, and Mitamurakandadan?, make strong connections with the Japanese underground’s love of brass bands, partly informed by the tradition of chindon’ya, marching bands that walk the streets of Japanese cities. They also all appeared on the recent Alien Parade Japan compilation of such groups, assembled by Acher and Saya.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll things converge, then, on The Orchestra in the Sky, a smart, spirited collection of heavenly pop songs, intimate folk melodies, lungfuls of joyous brass, deep weeping strings, and swooning sighs. The last words go to Acher himself: “Many things we did in the last years come together here and it feels like something special was captured.” We hope you like what you hear.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Hochzeitskapelle + Japanese Friends \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Alien Transistor\u003c\/p\u003e"}
