Mieko Shimizu returns with a powerful new EP, ‘Breathe Out’. A boldly nonconformist Japanese singer, songwriter, composer, and producer, Shimizu uses the EP to build on the success of her acclaimed album ‘My Tentacles’, which drew praise from Electronic Sound magazine and airplay on BBC Radio 6.
The new EP features two immersive tracks that showcase her signature blend of emotional depth and sonic experimentation. Dropping alongside a visually arresting music video by diz_qo, this project invites listeners on an immersive journey of texture, movement, and atmosphere, reaffirming Mieko Shimizu’s place as a pioneering force in avant-garde music.
‘Breathe Out’ echoes the light and sound that rise from the horizon, where humanity meets the boundless realms of gods and spirits, the veil between the earthly and the divine. Emerging as a sonic meditation in motion, ‘Breathe Out’ is a two-track EP that drifts between serenity and momentum. The ‘Breathe Out’ EP brings together two distinct yet complementary tracks that showcase Mieko Shimizu’s ability to create emotionally resonant, finely detailed music.
The title track, ‘Breathe Out’, unfolds with airy atmospheres, delicate sample percussion, and fast-moving flute melodies that weave like rushing wind through open space, creating a sense of release and expansion. Its counterpart, ‘Breathe In’, draws the listener inward, mirroring the first track’s fluid energy but with a more introspective pull, evoking the quiet rhythm of breath cycling back into the body. Together, the EP captures a dynamic tension between stillness and movement, offering an ambient journey that feels alive, transient, and deeply human, highlighting Mieko Shimizu’s unique artistic prowess.
Speaking on the release, Mieko Shimizu shares, “In Breathe Out, I wanted to echo the light and sound that rise from the horizon, where humanity meets the boundless realms of gods and spirits, the veil between the earthly and the divine.”
