Remember the ultra-dizzying, frantic sonic acid trips of Philadelphia's
BAnanas Symphony aka
Blackhawks member Yohsuke Araki? Well, forget about them for now. He's not the hyperactive kid from school anymore but that über-hip guy dressed in a black suit with shades who's standing in the dark corner of your favorite secret location du jour, effortlessly dropping infinitely elegant jams for the sophisticated if absent-minded downtown crowd while you're apathetically sitting at the bar, zipping a perfect Moscow Mule. Don't believe me? Then listen to "The Passenger", the first of
The Interest Group, a new venture launched by Yohsuke and his friend Marissa sometime last winter. Judging from this particular three and a half minute gem, to call it "promising" would be an understatement.
