Takeshita – Problematic CS

Translucent red cassette duplicated in real-time, 4-panel j-card in clear/clear case. Includes download code.

Even Konosuke himself couldn't pin Problematic; it never stops moving, evading, wriggling away like one of those inside-out water balloon things that are impossible to get a solid grip on. Takeshita's toolkit remains largely the same over the course of the four tracks—crunchy pedal chains, overclocked delay, mixer with a L/R balance knob that's probably close to falling off by now—but the restless energy keeps things interesting and unpredictable to the end. Be sure to have both earbuds in and/or your speakers properly placed… there are enough sonic doodads and shrapnel fragments whirling about that you'll need all the extra space you can get to clean up.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Tim Burkland in Seattle, WA July 2023
