Having sat in her closet for 29-years, Gearbox are proud to present City-Pop trailblazer, Nanaco Sato's, luxurious album, 'LUST'. Recorded across 1996-97 at Maison Rouge, the album captures not only Sato's truly eclectic nature but also features a vast array of estimable musicians. It's a record that defies neat categorisation, and speaks to both Sato's prolific and explorative musical career, as well as the unconstrained way in which it was conceived. Tracks span everything from abstract jazz vocals, Tibetan folk, psychedelic pop, global rhythms, avant-rock, undulating sitars, funk-rock workouts, and much more. Sato has been releasing music for over 45-years with a discography that has seen her work with the likes of Nippon Columbia, EMI Japan, and Bella Union, collaborating with Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymond, who produced her 1998 album "Luminous Love In 23". "LUST" is a complete dream recording, it was incredibly thrilling and fun. I'm sure everyone involved - the late John Renbourn, engineer Akira Fujii, and the now-defunct legendary studio Maison Rouge- would be delighted.
