Mieko Shimizu - My Tentacles

My Tentacles is the capricious album re-release by radical, nonconformist Japanese composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and singer Mieko Shimizu.

The album features the offbeat unworldliness of the single, My Tentacles and the mesmeric standout track, Think Like a Swarm, reminiscent of Laurie Anderson's art meets pop music sensibilities. The album bristles with quirky, dysfunctional beats and chimeric fusions. Her Tentacles are truly her own, for this free-spirited champion of outsider art pop.

The album features bass by Teitur Arnason & Renell Shaw, acoustic guitar & backing vocals Sam Carter, electric guitar by David Cunningham, Viola by Ella Burch, Cello by Francesca Ter-Berg & Lucinda Skinner, Trumpet by Eddie 'Tan Tan' Thornton.

Recorded / Mixed / Produced by Mieko Shimizu & Peter Morris at Street Furniture Studios, Soho, London. Mastered by Keith Tenniswood at Curve Pusher My Tentacles by Mieko Shimizu will be re-released on 13th March 2024 on Street Furniture Records.

It was originally released in 2011. This digitally remastered version has been repackaged with new designs by We Are Noisy.
