6ths
Wasps' Nests CD (1995)
Ayako Akashiba songs
 $8.65   
On every level, WASPS' NESTS is a triumph.
The 6ths: Stephin Merritt (vocals, various instruments).
Composer: Stephin Merritt.
Personnel: Mitch Easter (vocals, guitar); Chris Knox, Janet Underhill , Georgia Hubley, Lou Barlow, Mac McCaughan, Mark Robinson, Amelia Fletcher, Anna Domino, Ayako Akashiba, Robert Scott (vocals) Rather than showcase his music through his usual band, The Magnetic Fields, the Boston-born, New York-based singer-songwriter asked fourteen of his influences and peers to sing fourteen of his songs, taking the fifteenth, the excellent "Aging Spinsters," for himself. WASPS' NESTS features songs written by Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields, performed by various indie-rock singers, including members of Yo La Tengo, Sebadoh, Superchunk, the Tall Dwarfs and Luna.
For his major-label debut, Stephin Merritt came up with a brilliant idea. The intoxicating results are among Merritt's very best work, melodic vignettes of sarcastic disdain (Dean Wareham's "Falling Out of Love"), wistful longing (Barbara Manning's "San Diego Zoo"), heartbreak (Mary Timony's "All Dressed Up In Dreams") and romantic idealism (Robert Scott's "Heaven In A Black Leather Jacket").
Merritt plays nearly all the instruments himself, and the singers all follow the Magnetic Fields example of deadpan detachment in their vocal style, so the album sounds less like a compilation than like an album by one band which happens to have 15 singers.

Dealin With Signal And Noise CD (2007) (Import)
Ayako Akashiba albums
$15.05
Guitar's fifth full-length album finds Michael Lückner exploring more sounds than before, though in a way this is a summation of where he's been over time more than anything else, if an attractive summation with some enjoyable help from singer Ayako Akashiba and the Seattle band Voyager One. Certainly there's an overt nod to earlier roots with the cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey," but
