Jizue.

Is what I would call an unremarkable new-age jazz band from somewhere in japan. That being said I cant get enough of them to stop listening to the two albums I have of theirs. Both of them are completely amazing pieces of work.
In particular I want to address how ridiculous the ensemble is from a musical standpoint as it blows my mind everytime I think about it.  There are 4 members that I can hear. A piano, a bass guitar, a drummer and one guitar. But the guitar is used mostly for nearly psychedelic noise and ambient fretwork that you'd swear there's a member working another electric keyboard somewhere in the mix. That is, until the guitarist solos. Out of nowhere these crisp tones float across and you're wisked off to a fantastic land full of musical elegance, both in outlandish reverance of it and then broken and beaten tragic side as well.
And that's only looking at the guitar...I'm not even going to talk about the piano or anything in this post. But if I can later embed a video of their's I will.

Edit* No embedded video but here's a great track from them:

But anywho, a quick update on my album...I'm pretty much done with all of the final mixing. I'm just getting picky now. I had originally wanted to wait until December 15th to release it
but right now I might just do it sooner. Like next week sooner. I just need to start working on the extras now. Video work, as well as a music video and album art. Most of that stuff is already done as well I just need to get on it.
Quick update, I know. But that's what happens. More to come so keep watching the skies.
