Miso Soup : That's the way the cookie crumbles
The electronic solo project of Miso Soup started in 2007 when he decided to leave his guitar and his liberty spikes … Miso Soup spent the last three years working in his home studio, creating and designing his sound and universe. He gets his inspiration from the Japanese culture (look at his name!) and other musicians, as for example, his friend Noone. Miso Soup’s music combines the best of Electro and Breakbeat, along with Electronica, Bass music, and Pop rhythms. The paths of BEE Records and Miso Soup have crossed several times and in 2010, Miso Soup signed his first EP on the French independent label titled That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
Miso Soup's new EP includes 6 tracks and holds many surprises, both by the coherence of its pieces and by the narrative quality. That’s the way the cookie crumbles, first piece on the EP puts the set with its catchy childish melody, taking in its trail a humming electro music at full power. The epic Amaga, more breakbeat, heavy and tense allows itself a bend way to a military march, while Girl Phonecall = Brain Damage launches its heady hymn on the background of big techno kicks. Ghost, Cats and a Whistle takes the place of the transition piece between the dancefloor influences of the first pieces and the rest of the record that is more melodic and electronica. In My porcelain God that sounds like a nod to his mentor and in Kermit (Summer wars), which despite its purely electro rhythm leaves a prominent place to melodies, breaks, and Japanese voice, Miso Soup juggles by varying styles and mixing brilliantly organic and electronic sounds. From calm to the storm, sometimes Bass music, sometimes more narrative and pop, That’s the way the cookie crumbles remains playful and simply effective.
