Tujiko Noriko – Crépuscules I & II

Tape was the bonding medium between Tujiko Noriko and Editions Mego owner Peter Rehberg, who passed away unexpectedly in 2021. After she once gave him one as a demo, she wrote him »Crépuscules I & II,« a monolithic yet moving requiem on two cassettes. Slowly moving from ambient pop towards ethereal abstraction, grief has rarely been better transformed into music. Or at least rarely with so few words, should the Mount Erie Ultras now begin to protest. Kristoffer Cornils
