Arto Lindsay "Cuidado Madame" CD

After 13 years of silence, Arto Lindsay has finally released his new album! This is the first big event in the music scene of 2017!

"It's been tough waiting years for new music from some of my favorite musicians, but the wait for the unique genius Arto Lindsay was maddening. Good, I'm finally feeling better!" - Jim O'Rourke

A new phase of avant-pop, an art style brought about by encounters with not only his friend Melvin Gibbs, but also with the new generation of musicians from New York. This is one of the greatest solo career masterpieces, fusing the punk spirit of NO WAVE and recent cosmopolitanism at the highest level!

◆ The long-awaited new album since the 2004 masterpiece "Salt"
As an unconventional guitarist in the New York underground who strums his untuned noise guitar, as a world-renowned producer of cutting-edge pop who has worked with Caetano Veloso, Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne, Marisa Monchi, and others, and as a rare singer with an erotic and thrilling voice, Arto Lindsay is a truly gifted musician who has spawned passionate fans all over the world while roaming the music scene with his unique presence that transcends borders, genres, and generations. Arto Lindsay has delighted Japanese fans with his energetic live performances in recent years, including a performance at Blue Note Tokyo with Keigo Oyamada and Jim O'Rourke, and a five-day consecutive performance at Daikanyama Haretara Sora ni Mamemaite in the summer of 2016 (with Ichiko Aoba, Hideo Yamaki, Buffalo Daughter, and Jim O'Rourke on alternate days). In January 2017, he will finally release his first new album in about 13 years! For Arto, who has been releasing albums consistently up until now, these 13 years have been too long for his fans. This release comes at a time when the anticipation has reached a boiling point!

A masterpiece that exceeds expectations, with a perfect balance between sharp experimental spirit and mellow pop.
