The cascading hollowness of Japanese producer Mars89's latest album 'Visions' for Bedouin Records evokes a hypnotising atmosphere that takes the listener on a cinematic journey through what is best described as a post-apocalyptic daydream. In its entirety, this album is a political act against capitalism and urban infrastructure as a whole, paying homage to those who endure the various ways in which capitalists and authoritarian governments attempt to infiltrate and control their lives, and all that surrounds them.
Breaking musical boundaries in the creation of what is considered to be a new genre of Japanese street music, Mars89 draws on a wide range of influences –such as sci-fi films– to conjure an eerie dystopian scene, inviting the listener to imagine a world on the brink of collapse as a tyrannical authority stands by idly. Embedded in the back cover of the album, Mars89 pays tribute to the working-class resistance; 'This album is dedicated to the city dwellers who live with the rats and crows in the gaps of the city where the giant capital tries to control everything'.
To raise the funds necessary to build a solid foundation for the days ahead, the label is offering collectors and donors a gift of music in the form of a unique series of records, boxsets, merchandise and subscription access to the label. In collaboration with Bandcamp, we created 3 tiers to press Visions by Mars89 on vinyl, meticulously mastered by Maenad Veyl and designed & artworked by Kosuke Kawamura and ZODIAK. A collaboration that spans genres and continents.
We hope you will contribute and thank you for your continued trust and support. Long live the tribe.
