The Daily Dig

Dubbed the 'goddess of late-night radio,' Hako Yamasaki is one of the most distinctive Japanese female singer-songwriters of the 1970s, her voice carrying an indescribable loneliness and sorrow. Tsunawatari sings of isolation, struggle and life's quiet helplessness — essential for fans of Morita Doji and Miyuki Nakajima. Reissued by WRWTFWW on 180g vinyl in a heavy board sleeve with sticker.

被稱為「深夜廣播的女神」的山崎ハコ，是日本 70 年代最具個人特色的女性創作歌手之一，歌聲裡有著難以形容的孤獨與哀愁。《綱渡り》唱出孤獨、掙扎與生活中的無奈，直擊人心，喜歡森田童子、中島美雪的樂迷不容錯過。WRWTFWW 再版，180g 重量盤搭配厚紙封套與貼紙。

Ichiko Hashimoto and Atsuo Fujimoto's Colored Music released this self-titled album in 1981 — it sounds like Bowie's Berlin trilogy laced with a dash of psychedelic Haruomi Hosono.

Reissued by WRWTFWW in a tip-on sleeve with liner notes by selector Chee Shimizu.

Daughter's Elena Tonra returns with Save As, the second album from her solo project Ex:Re, turning the feelings that circle endlessly and go unspoken into aching songs. Produced by Fabian Prynn with cellist Josephine Stephenson and synth player Hinako Omori, it threads electronic textures through her familiar melancholic folk for a hazier, more dreamlike sound.

Jeff Parker's landmark 2016 album fuses hip-hop sample-style beats, jazz improvisation and live ensemble playing, and became a pivotal release for Chicago's International Anthem. Drawing on Thelonious Monk, J Dilla and Charles Stepney, it takes its name from his late father's 1970s clothing store and features his daughter Ruby's voice — a family photo album rendered in sound. Tenth-anniversary reissue.

Jeff Parker 2016 年的大名作，融合 Hip-Hop 取樣式節拍、爵士即興與真實樂器合奏，也是芝加哥廠牌 International Anthem 發展歷程中的關鍵作品。從 Thelonious Monk、J Dilla、Charles Stepney 汲取靈感；專輯名稱源自他已故父親於 1970 年代經營的服飾店，並加入女兒 Ruby Parker 的歌聲，宛如一張聲音拼貼的家庭相簿。十週年紀念再版。

A 1975 Afro-Latin jazz-funk gem from Cuban multi-instrumentalist Jesús 'La Grulla' Caunedo, with the tense, suspenseful air of a Yuji Ohno score. A respected sideman to Tito Puente, Machito and Celia Cruz, he fuses Afro-Cuban rhythm, punchy horns, fuzz guitar and jazz-fusion here; the opener 'Fire & Sugar' plays like a Lupin III chase scene. 180g reissue with one previously unreleased track.

古巴多樂器演奏家 Jesús "La Grulla" Caunedo 於 1975 年留下的 Afro-Latin / Jazz-Funk 名盤，乍聽有著大野雄二配樂般的緊張懸疑氛圍。他曾與 Tito Puente、Machito、Celia Cruz 等傳奇共事，在此將 Afro-Cuban 節奏、緊湊銅管、Fuzz 吉他與 Jazz-Fusion 融為一體；開場曲〈Fire & Sugar〉彷彿魯邦三世的追逐戲碼。180g 再版，收錄一首未發表曲。
