Fujiya & Miyagi



















Repeat after me: Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Feeling stressed out? Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Wish that snow would go away? Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Don't know what to buy Aunt Ethel for Christmas? Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. Fujiya Miyagi. My body may be in a Cleveland snowstorm, but my mind has been transplanted to a sunny beach on the Atlantic coast.

This little mantra will cure just about anything. It works wonders on its own and it's even more powerful when chanted along to the tune of Fujiya and Miyagi's droning, atmospheric, krautrock blaster "Ankle Injuries."

Now it's worth pointing out, Fujya and Miyagi are not Fujiya and Miyagi. Fujiya and Miyagi are really three English musicians: Steve Lewis, David Best, and Matt Hainsby. Their latest album Transparent Things, will be available in the US and Canada on January 23rd on Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Recordings. It's available now in download form from http://www.beatport.com.
