The experimental rock project Mi-Gu was founded by Yuko Araki, who performed being a drummer in Cornelius’ band and in addition used the Yoko Ono Music group, If by Yes, and Mike Watt’s Brother’s Sister’s Daughter. Araki released Mi-Gu’s self-titled debut record in 2003, providing playful, fractured pop that recalled the various other groupings she performed with, but using its very own identity. You start with 2006’s From Space, Mi-Gu added guitarist/manufacturer Hirotaka “Shimmy” Shimizu — who was simply also a bandmate of Araki’s in Cornelius’ group and in various other projects — towards the flip. The pair came back in ’09 2009 with Tugging from Above, that was released on Ryuichi Sakamoto’s label Commons. 3 years afterwards, the collection Pick the Light produced Mi-Gu’s music even more available to American audiences.
