About this item:
The Yoshida Brothers, Japan's young masters of the ancient tsugaru-shamisen, are back with a new album, Prism.
On Prism, the Yoshida Brothers have collaborated with some notable talents, such as Southern California singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop, who wrote the Celtic-tinged One Long River and David Baerwald, the singer-songwriter who provided the whimsical track Mr. Nagano''''s Foolish Proposal. And Summer Day marks a collaboration with keyboardist and producer Mitchell Froom (writer of the Yoshida Brothers'''' Hit Song) with additional songwriting contributions from drummer Matt Chamberlain (Tori Amos, Edie Brickell) and Phantom Planet vocalist Alex Greenwald.
These album stand-outs fit comfortably alongside more traditional examples of Japanese folk like Hu Jin and Aiya, plus the Brothers'''' inspired cover of The National Anthem from Radiohead''''s Kid A. The album''''s final track, End of the World, was featured on the soundtrack to the Mark Wahlberg/Joaquin Phoenix film, We Own the Night, further enhancing the Yoshida Brothers'''' profile in America.
In another recording and marriage of modern and traditional sounds, Prism is evidence that the Yoshida Brothers continue to push boundaries in their pursuit of musical exploration, constantly redefining the sound of the shamisen and how it can be fused into new, unique soundscapes.
