London based electronic musician Hinako Omori releases a remix EP of Bank Of Inner Criticisms, a stand out track from her debut Aurelia EP, featuring three strong and varied interpretations by Ill Japonia, Dylan Henner and Matt Emery.
The EP begins with a soaring, euphoric remix by Ill Japonia, the new trap influenced solo project of Bo Ningen’s Taigen Kawabe. In sharp contrast, Dylan Henner’s remix transforms the melancholy of the original in to a narcoleptic haze, effusing an eerie sense of despair and dejection. The EP ends fittingly with Matt Emery’s gorgeous cello version, which elicits a profoundly moving, cinematic sense of farewell; a dramatic, heart wrenching parting of ways.
Hinako Omori is a musician with a love for synthesizers and anything that makes interesting sounds. Born in Yokohama, Japan she moved to London when she was three, where she is still based. Initially training to be a sound engineer, Hinako studied Music and Sound Recording at the University of Surrey and then went on to continue working in music, at a record label and as part of a curation team for a festival. After session playing on the side, she leapt into working full time as a pianist/keyboard player and programmer – some of the artists Hinako has worked and toured with include EOB (Ed O’Brien), Georgia, Kae Tempest and Fionn Regan.

I adore both of these, so even tho I chose Moth, I honestly couldn't choose. I wish these were put in liquid form, so I could have this A/B put straight into my veins. mcfingus
