Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Family Genesis' is the third album by Tokyo trio YMCK, whose vocalist Midori Kurihara sings over game-console sound chips programmed by Takeshi Yokemura and Tomoyuki Nakamura. The group builds its songs entirely from 8-bit waveforms, turning the Famicom palette into a vehicle for jazz harmony and pop melody.
