Neither arch nor brittle, this is the Japanese electronic musician’s most approachable and generous collection to date: “plastic” as in “malleable,” not “artificial.”

Shinichi Atobe has remained an elusive figure ever since his debut EP quietly appeared on Chain Reaction in 2001, and even though he's become more prolific since Demdike Stare began releasing his music on their DDS imprint in 2014, there's still hardly any biographical information about the artist available.
