Sono le storie eccentriche e inquietanti di Izumi Suzuki (1949-1986) a ispirare il ritorno, peraltro felicissimo, di Zeena Parkins e Ikue Mori come Phantom Orchard: Hit Parade of Tears, loro quinto album insieme, su Tzadik.
Distilling their ensemble to its original duo configuration, New York improvisers Zeena Parkins and Ikue Mori reflect on the stories of Japanese author Izumi Suzuki through ten mysteriously eclectic and beautifully developed compositions of harp (acoustic and electric), electronics, percussion, harmonium, ondes martenot, and much more. Wonderful, imaginative and evocative work.
