  • "Mei Semones’ sweetly evocative blend of jazz, bossa nova and math-y indie rock is not only a way for her to find solace in her favorite genres, but is an intuitive means of catharsis. 'Blending everything that I like together and trying to make something new – that's what feels most natural to me,' says the 23-year-old Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and guitarist. 'It’s what feels most true to who I am as an artist.' Plinking guitar tones and asymmetrical time signatures exemplify her forays into angular indie rock more now than ever before, especially on her debut Bayonet Records single 'Wakare no Kotoba'—its wide-interval arpeggios in odd meters being some of the most technically difficult guitar work Mei has ever implemented in her songwriting. Translated to 'parting words' in English, the self-described 'anti-love song' serves as a farewell to a toxic friendship, complete with orchestral swells and crashing guitars. Semones chronicles infatuation, devotion, and vulnerability in her songs, complete with sweeping strings, virtuosic guitar-playing and heartfelt lyrics sung in both English and Japanese, that have all become part of her sonic trademark: ornately catchy, genre-fusing compositions serving as the backdrop to tender lyrics touching on the universalities of human emotion." - Bayonet Records
