Kagami is the duo of Jared Blum (Vision Heat, Gigante Sound) and Maxwell August Croy
(En, Root Strata). Their eponymous debut, recorded between 2014 and 2017, finds the
pair navigating a bracingly wide range of niches with aplomb and precision. Evoking
summertime ambience, widescreen electronics, anthemic pop instrumentals, and windswept
romantic gestures, Kagami is a charming and dramatic record that at times recalls the
soundtrack to some lost title from Nintendo's golden age or perhaps a spiritual
successor to the miniatures of Yasuaki Shimizu's Music for Commercials (1987). Original
cover art by Brenna Murphy; Layout by Konrad Jandavs. Mastered by Helmut Erler; Cut at
Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Includes download code.
