Hailing from Athens, Georgia, Japancakes - on paper - sound like they’d be your worst sonic nightmare: at their outset they were performing full 45 minute gigs using only a D chord. eoghan at cluas.comEver since I came across their early cd If I could See Dallas, Japancakes' brand of ambient music has held my attention. It is extremely mellow and almost generic and reminds me of Phillip Glass. I should say I actually like Phillip Glass a classical minimalist composer. I should also say to date I haven't found anyone else who likes him! I still like Japancakes because of their meditative quality. The presence of cellist/keyboardist Heather MacIntosh has also kept my interest.
Anyhow here's their myspace account where you can hear some of their recent audio tracks issued (click)
See what you think.
