POiSON GiRL FRiEND

with Vitesse X

“The romantic preoccupations of Japanese vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Noriko Sekiguchi—known by the stylized mononym nOrikO—transcend language. She’s in the proud history of voices that break through the rave fog, carrying the la-da-dee, la-dee-das and the sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing. In her songs as POiSON GiRL FRiEND, she recounts love’s highs and lows with simple honesty. Her mischievous sing-song mourns and reminesces in English, French, and Japanese over layered blends of 1980s-style club beats and synthetic strings with the melancholic sensibility of trip-hop. The music blooms to fill the space left in love’s absence.”
