Shizuka
Heavenly Persona (2lp)
Originally released in 1994. Few artists have left behind a legacy as enigmatic and captivating as Shizuka Miura. Amidst
the Tokyo underground, she was a spectral figure, creating ghostly, childlike dolls and writing haunting, other-worldly
songs. She formed Shizuka in 1992 with Maki Miura, known for his staggering guitar work in legendary groups Fushitsusha
and Les Rallizes Dénudés. Their music bloomed with a fragile, yet explosive mystical power; an atmospheric alchemy of
psychedelic rock, folk and noise with Shizuka's ethereal vocals invoking loneliness, yearning and dark providence. Since
her passing in 2010, the group has steadily gathered a cult following. Black Editions presents their sole studio album,
1994's 'Heavenly Persona,' a monumental, transcendent work originally issued by P.S.F. Japan on CD in 1994; Now newly
remastered and in its first ever vinyl edition on double-LP with a laser etched fourth side. Presented in a deluxe
tip-on tri-fold jacket with ink pigment foil stamping, gloss film laminate finish and printed inner sleeves and mounted
booklet. It includes her extensive, heart wrenching final interview, translated for the first time to English alongside
high-resolution archival images.
