Details: Amazon.caFrom the first cut–“Mic Check,” one of the coolest disc openers heard in ages–it’s apparant that Fantasma is something special. To hear electronic musician Cornelius (aka Keigo Oyamada) in full effect, skip ahead to “Monkey,” which bends blistering shoe-gazing rock with goofy sound effects, lush, surf’s up vocals, and a pleasantly modulating 1980s synth with a loud, distorting drum-roll sample. Cornelius’s rock-savvy, playful, and idiosyncratic musical collage works as much off the tension between disparate, sampled sounds as their seamless dance alongside each other. Fantasma is firmly in the spirit of the anything-goes, D.I.Y. tradition of both punk rock and early hip-hop. –Mike McGonigal
