About:
For his second EP on Untitled & After, Sapporo, Japan’s Birdcage continues to generate playful but mysterious shoegazer techno. Both Clair de lune and Love Replica create juxtapositions between structured, linear techno and swirling textures. Electronic pulses and moody drones play off of field recordings that deepen the feeling that while this music is ethereal, there is something very palpably real and present in the layers between beats and tones.
Untitled 09 sounds like music created in an antique music box repair shop. Creaks and pings like rusted clocks. Purrs and sparkles like a warm wind blowing through a baby crib’s multicolored mobile.

To say Birdcage’s music is sublime would be an understatement. Both tracks are equally evocative: “Claire de Lune” shimmers with a soft brilliance and curious sonic undercurrents; “Love Replica” is a moody journey built around a minor chord and dreamlike atmospherics. Both recommended!
