Ventriloquizzing

VINYL FORMAT. After two years experimenting in the shadows, cutting edge minimalist-funk heroes Fujiya & Miyagi are back with their darkest and most propulsive set yet. The band's fourth full-lengther Ventriloquizzing has a dark heart, via its throbbing electro-glam beat and menacing lyrics. "I think there's an underlying anger, or perhaps just annoyance, at institutions and people in general, and probably ourselves too," says singer/guitarist David Best. "And it also seemed like the right time to work with someone else to help us avoid going to our default setting" - which the band combated by bringing in a co-producer for the first time in the form of famed producer Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Vetiver, Pernice Brothers) - their first time not self-producing. Written in Brighton, UK and recorded in Sacramento, CA; Ventriloquizzing is likely the first (and last) black comedy you can dance to.
