Diagnosis [Neon Yellow Vinyl] (LP)
Sen Morimoto
Amoeba Review
Sen Morimoto's Diagnosis is smart and soulful. It also feels utterly uncategorizable, which might be part of why it feels so urgent and fresh. Elements of jazz, funk, R&B, hip-hop, and even punk blend seamlessly together to create an emotional pressure cooker, simmering beneath smooth, lush arrangements before exploding into horn-fueled cinematic crescendos. That intense undercurrent feeds these songs lyrically as well: in Morimoto's world nothing is as it seems, but if you find the right lens, you can see things just as they are, and see how systems interconnect to create the world we live in. An innovative, immediate, rewarding album.
