Yes, your eyes tell you the truth - this is the first new record by Zero Kama released since 2008 live vinyl! During these 16 years Zoe Dewitt was active with book publishing, Zero Kama and Korpses Katatonic reissues, lectures, scientific research, exhibitions, and rare but bright live shows. However, most of us have forgotten our dreams of seeing new releases of Zero Kama. Originally, "What is a Body" is the 50-minute background soundtrack for Zoe Dewitt's lecture performance in the anatomical theatre of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2015. Exclusively based on samples from "The Secret Eye of LAYLAH" it takes you to the same Zero Kama you always known - dark ritual music with transcendent drones and tribal parts. The music is not to talk about but to listen and disappear in. Black vinyl, colored vinyl, and the DigiCD. The vinyl comes with a big booklet about the record conception and the lecture by Zoe Dewitt.

Grinning Cat confounded devotees of Sakura with a far more complex set of tracks. A landscape of ambiguous emotional resonance within an album of measured extremes. Sentimental without being schmaltzy, joyful without being saccharine, Grinning Cat sees Yokota at his most playful and experimental, channelling moments of transitory wonder and jubilation, and opening up a sonic environment in which we can romp and play.

With Spiral Bound, Rebecca Sugar established a distinct sound; affectingly soft, rich in imagery, and beautiful in it's simplicity and poignancy. Much of that album grappled with the feelings of isolation and burnout that Rebecca experienced as a showrunner. Lonely Magic, Rebecca's second studio release, presents an evolution of the sounds in Spiral Bound, adding robust instrumentation, unexpectedly bold soundscapes, and a connected throughline of themes just as relatable and personal as the subjects of the first album. On these 7 heartfelt tracks, Rebecca works through complex feelings of belonging, connection, love and loneliness. It's beautiful pop music at it's best, and at iam8bit, we are humbled to play a part in bringing it to you. The Lonely Magic 10" has been pressed on Angelic Green vinyl, sporting original album art from - who else? - Rebecca Sugar, including the three angels who represent the theses of the songs themselves. This is the work of a true visionary, folks. You need to hear it.

The Boy and the Tree was composed after a visit to Yakushima Island, an outstandingly beautiful world heritage site off the southern tip of Japan, scored by a deep, lush and ancient ravine, home of the ancient 7000-year old 'Jomon Sugi'. Tree. Also the inspiration for Miyazaki's epic anime Princess Mononoke, a conflict between the rampant greed and destructive force of humanity, and the stoic, mysterious fragility of nature. This fleeting immersion in nature lent the album a profound introspection and mystery, and the it's twelve tracks unfold in dream sequence, each drifting seamlessly into the next while still managing to steer the listener in myriad directions, from eerie butoh atmospheres, to ebullient raga, to desolate, cavernous chanson. The Boy And The Tree is definitely one of, if not the most, visually evocative and cinematic Yokota releases.

On his sixth LP In Another, Toronto-based, Japanese-born, musician and composer Masahiro Takahashi (?? ??) continues the collaborative expansion of his sonic universe that listeners witness on his 2023 release, Humid Sun. Here he enlists a rotating ensemble of ten guest artists from Toronto's vibrant music community, including his labelmate Joseph Shabason, who also serves as the album's co-producer and engineer. Spurred by his longtime admiration for chamber pop spanning the High Llamas and Free Design to the Beach Boys, Takahashi deviates from the underlying processes of his past two outings, trading Ableton sequences for lead sheets, focusing on creating robust melodic and harmonic foundations first. This difference is audible straight away; the album opens with a dialog between upright piano and plucked double bass that's so gentle and transparent you can hear the breath of the players.
Tracklist:
I'm Your Mirror
Queen West Butterfly
Dreamies
