Electronic avant-garde from New York

Ikue Mori and Zeena Parkins have had well established roots on New York’s downtown music scene since the 1980s. While Ikue Mori creates fascinating electronic landscapes with her laptop and drum machines, Zeena Perkins also improvises on her self-designed electronic harp with virtually inexhaustible imagination. In 2004, they released their debut album under the name Phantom Orchard.

»Hit Parade of Tears« is the latest album from the ideally matched duo. It is dedicated to the Japanese author Izumi Suzuki. They transform her short stories into moving musical miniatures. Even if you do not know the science fiction originals, the music of Phantom Orchard always opens up a new, exciting world. Alternating between abstract and sensually melodic, Mori and Parkins again demonstrate that they understand each other musically without words.
