The track contains a basic structure consisting of an intro, an understated build towards its meaty midsection, and an outro. Yet, “mi (we)” is a microcosm for why that would be erroneous. That much is evident on centerpiece “mi (we).” It’s a miasma of sounds and, admittedly, there’s an armchair reflex to decry WOW as a whole for being nothing more than this. ![]() The difference is that Yasuragi Land was inspired yet aimless whereas WOW avoids such a fate. Normally these characteristics would be insults, but both albums strive for them. Yasuragi Land and WOW share a certain flatness and clunkiness. The Nagoya-based footwork DJ penned the lyrics for “oni (they),” and while that may be his only contribution to WOW, his influence is clear.

The multi-lingual singer takes away Room for the Moon’s defining traits-off-kilter interpolations of ’80s Japanese and Soviet pop-for mostly wordless, analog soundscapes. WOW, her fourth LP, continues NV’s lack of personal confession while moving away from its predecessor. After all, who else could make “oni (they),” a track about fruits rolling down the side of the road for attraction’s sake, feel so surreal? Her focus instead is on characters, time periods, and scenarios. However, that same merriment projects only as much Ekaterina Shilonosova as Kate NV allows, which usually isn’t much. As she said to Crack Magazine recently, her approach is “ not careless, but carefree.” Her merriment pervades her work which loosely fit the term art pop even when it’s neither artful nor poppy. She approaches her craft with wide eyes and a studied hand.
