as far as what kom_i has been up to lately, she's done a bunch of performances with experimental percussionist olaibi, who's worked a lot with yoshimi from boredoms in the past

huh, interesting. I liked that yakushima treasure record. I'd be up for more of that.
that new footwork track ain't bad but I have to say that none of the post-campanella xiangyu stuff has done all that much for me. it's fine but I don't really go back to it and played those first few campanella records obsessively.
this remix has a little of the old magic tho:https://haretokidoki.bandcamp.com/track/remix-5

'Drop' is cool and I think it might grow on me, but I wish it was a little more "full speed ahead", if you know what I mean?
Sampled a little of the kom_i & olaibi performance and I like it a lot, will definitely go back to that.

KOM_I is officially leaving Wed Camp, to be replaced by Utaha (who appears to be a street fashion model): https://www.instagram.com/utaha.89/
would be interesting to see where WC goes from here and of course, what KOM_I will be up to next

a shame but looking forward to what they both do in the future
kom_i wasn't usually too involved in the music but she was an incredible performer and really brought a lot to the table there, so i hope her replacement can keep up in that regard.

i guess it was another thread where we mentioned the new album, "Neon".It's great, and top to bottom I think their best yet! "Edison" has blown up on TikTok apparently. 15 million youtube plays!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tOIjOPZ5sA

yeah it was in the jpop thread
it's solid but not as exciting as wedcamp 1.0 at their best, it's a bit wedcamp by numbers but that's still very good

yeah, I can't help but miss KOM_I and their distinctive early sound but it's still pretty cool

a pair of new singles recently, "tinker bell / hot pot commander"

"tinker bell" is fine, though fairly by the numbers deep house for them, but "hot pot commander" is very fresh, hyperpop adjacent at the very least

have to say finally got round to listening to this LP and it just does nothing for me compared to the Galapagos stuff, just sounds ultra generic :-(

it's mostly been wedcamp by numbers yeah so far instead of the relentless innovation of wedcamp 1.0. i'm glad "edison" was a big hit for them at least though
― ufo, Sunday, 8 January 2023 10:39 (one year ago) link
i guess I'm also pretty by the numbers 😁
