{"product_id":"momoko-gill-momoko","title":"Momoko Gill - Momoko","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrut proudly presents the debut album from producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Momoko Gill.\u003cbr\u003eFresh from her critically acclaimed collaboration Clay recorded with cult electronic artist Matthew Herbert, Momoko steps forward in her own right for the first time with her remarkable debut solo album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMomoko has long been one of the UK electronic and jazz scene’s best-kept secrets.\u003cbr\u003eA self-taught drummer, producer, songwriter, and vocalist, she has brought her unique touch to collaborations with Alabaster DePlume, Matthew Herbert, Coby Sey, Tirzah, and Nadeem Din-Gabisi (her musical foil in An Alien Called Harmony).\u003cbr\u003eExtensive touring behind the drum kit, at the keys and in front of the mic have honed her compositional and production instincts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Momoko, Gill emerges into the spotlight with an album that is entirely her own.\u003cbr\u003eThroughout, you can hear the stylistic flavours of jazz musicians as much as singer-songwriters, experimental artists and electronic producers.\u003cbr\u003eThough Gill rejects imitation, sculpting her sound through feel and expression rather than tradition.\u003cbr\u003eBased in London and having grown up in Japan and the US, Gill channels her breadth of perspective through her musical ideas and storytelling, with a unique voice developed through instinct, collaboration and solitary study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album’s eleven tracks take in a wide spectrum with the jazz-infused groove of ‘No Others’ and harmony-drenched, reflective ‘Heavy’ contrasting with the dark, confrontational sound of 'Shadowboxing' leading into an eerie left-field instrumental beat, ‘Test A Small Area' and the impressive 50-person choir on ‘When Palestine Is Free’ (which includes heavyweights Shabaka Hutchings, Soweto Kinch, Alabaster DePlume, Coby Sey, Marysia Osu and more).\u003cbr\u003eIt is a deeply personal and poetic recording and showcases the full uncompromising range of Momoko’s vison, presented in her own voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMomoko was produced by Momoko Gill, recorded at Total Refreshment Centre, mixed by Matthew Herbert and mastered by Alex Gordon at Abbey Road Studios.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STRUT RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53201778213191,"sku":"TRI-69541","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Black Vinyl","offer_id":53201778442567,"sku":"TRI-69542","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/88ba6aab5c156bfc5b5d44462af73e31_7417fbe0-92af-45cd-8b11-fd9a1cb6abe2.jpg?v=1769320362","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/momoko-gill-momoko","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
