Visual artist Taketo Shimada moved to New York in late 80s and has been making music with Tres Warren of Psychic Ills since 2006, exploring a hybrid of raga, techno and drone rock. Odds are someone walking down Canal Street in NYC will hear the sound of Messages coming from a fifth floor walkup: sine waves, bass loops, guitars, samplers and turntables mashing into a storm of slowly shifting repetitions, heavy, monotone low-end and smoky echoes that conjure unexpected subsonic grooves. Dusted called their Social Registry seven-inch "heavy, humid drone, pregnant with 4am electricity and, in the end, thick fuzzy beats. A beautiful surprise, engaging even in its abstract tendencies."
