Morphing Polaroids is the debut album by Japanese DJ and live performer Saeko Killy who is based in Berlin. The album was produced in collaboration with Brussels based DJ Sofa Elsewhere.
The album opens with the gauzy sounds of Confusion And Friction that has minimal percussive elements with Computer noises as Saeko sings longingly in Japanese of whatever Confusion And friction this song is about.
Vitamin D has deep bass and Methyl Ethyl style keytones for Saeko to sing over with her fear of needing to go out in the sunshine to get that Vitamin D this has the fraught danger of the darker parts of Faithless.
Belgium takes a pulsing sound and adds synth elements for Saeko to sing over as she encourages you to dance, dance, dance hopefully not while drunk out of your mind on Belgian beer as she entices you into the bizarre kingdom.
Mars Rocks begins as a spoken word tannoy announcement in Japanese that leads into this outer space almost underwater soundscape with synth warbles, delicate keyboards rushing by.
Lullaby For Nightmare takes some horror movie keyboards and whisper in your rear vocals to scare the hell out of listeners, without even understanding what Saeko is telling us, on this tense taut tune.
Strawberry Flips is a short neo-classical ambient piece. That leads into the funky dancefloor Alt! that's slinky sliding across the dancefloor fun as Saeko tells us she wants to jump in water as obviously it's to be played at pool parties.
Sun Shower was the early single from the album and feels cooly familiar now as the silky shimmering techno dance-pop sung in Japanese with a sense of longing as the music gets more expansive against the metronomic bass pattern.
Red Moon is slow seductive synth pop with odd lyrics as this entices and disturbs in equal measure. Intimate Flame is darkly ambient synth pop that gives a shout out to her internet friend.
The album closes with Insecure Drive every tech-heads nightmare, what if hackers get in and re-mix the tune while I'm not looking, as the squelchy bass, bongos and synths weave their way around the firewall bugs crawl across your speakers somehow this remains glitch free.
