THANKS GIVING

Marina Kodama - Part of the Soil (Jan. 12, 2022)
TGDL-021
(P)+(C) 2022 THANKS GIVING

Marina Kodama, a singer-songwriter/producer and member of the electronic music unit Sawa Angstrom, has been active as a solo artist with live performances. She has released new singles, "Uka" and "Part of the Soil," nearly four years after her first album "Tsumetai Kemuri" in 2017.

The beat for this song was created by sampling the sound of fresh vegetables provided by Yorozu Farm, a café run by a farmer in Yamaguchi. This is her first solo work with English lyrics. The song emphasizes the idea that our bodies are shaped by what we consume, both physically and mentally, highlighting the importance of making intentional choices.

Sound production, including mixing and mastering, was handled by Satoshi Yoshioka of Sawa Angstrom. Her long-awaited second album is set to be released in 2022.
