Jyuriaano
Dreaming Glass
The debut album by Tokyo avant-pop duo Jyuriaano. Consisting of Morimoto Ariomi and Cobalt, the two members of Jyuriaano have long histories in Japanese underground music. Morimoto's history traces back to the late nineties; his nascent interests in noise collage and solo acoustic performance slowly transmuted to group endeavours, and more recently he's performed with the likes of Akiko Toshimitsu (Usurabi), Maki Miura (Shizuka) and Doronco (Los Doroncos). Jyuriaano's songs, somehow, feel quite sui generis in the way they magic up alternative visions for pop's possibilities. 'Dreaming Glass' is, quite simply, a lovely, unpretentious joy of an album.
