After releasing two albums – 2018 debut \u003cem\u003eCannonball!\u003c\/em\u003e and a 2021 self- titled follow-up – via his own Sooper Records, the artist signed to City Slang to co- release his third album alongside \u003cem\u003eSooper\u003c\/em\u003e, and it came at a time of fundamental change.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 12 tracks here, recorded at Chicago’s Friends Of Friends studio with a few close collaborators, skip between funky, bright jazz-pop (‘Bad State’), intricate guitar-based tracks with a Radiohead feel (“What You Say”) and orchestral wonderlands “Forsythia (レンギョウの旋律)\". Highlight “Pressure On The Pulse,” meanwhile, is a devastatingly intimate, quiet song that then explodes into an exuberant, animated whirlwind of sax and drums. A chameleonic figure at the album’s core, he can rip out a sax solo, dive deep into intimate singer-songwriter territory and lead massive, roaring alt-pop songs with equal aplomb.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMorimoto describes his musical reference points for the album as “equal parts Funkadelic and Dinosaur Jr.,” and while these touchpoints can be heard all over the record, it doesn’t feel beholden to them, instead using their inspiration before moving beyond it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA01 If The Answer Isn't Love \u003cbr\u003e\nA02 Bad State\u003cbr\u003e\nA03 St. Peter Blind\u003cbr\u003e\nA04 Diagnosis\u003cbr\u003e\nA05 Pressure On The Pulse A06 Naive\u003cbr\u003e\nB07 Feel Change\u003cbr\u003e\nB08 What You Say\u003cbr\u003e\nB09 Surrender\u003cbr\u003e\nB10 Deeper\u003cbr\u003e\nB11 Pain\u003cbr\u003e\nB12 Forsythia (レンギョウの旋律)\u003cbr\u003e\nB13 Reality\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49974971433202,"sku":"SLANG50486LP","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SEN_20MORIMOTO_20-_20DIAGNOSIS_20-_20SLANG50486LP_20-_20MOCKUP_b6dc9aa5-0b0a-4a13-b6cd-ec015af4fe8a.jpg?v=1787632832","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/diagnosis-limited-neon-yellow-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
