About Meishi Smile

MEISHI SMILE is an electronic project based in Los Angeles, CA. A "meishi" is a Japanese business card. A formality masquerading as emotion. Mixed with the word "smile," the two together form a meaning that aims to explore the very dual nature of the human experience as filtered through the digital divide. Influenced by genres both equally pop and experimental, the music takes note from the cathartic afterglow of harsh noise, the joyful idealism of Japanese Pop and the hazy, meditative sentiment of shoegaze. Together these range of influences set to explore the contradicting nature of such feelings, presenting a sense of musicality that is oddly warm within its static disconnection. MEISHI SMILE is also the founder of label ZOOM LENS (http://zoom-lens.org/) === The 1st full length album, "LUST" is now out on Attack The Music/ZOOM LENS https://attackthemusic.bandcamp.com/album/lust The new single "STAR" is now out on sKILLupper + Maltine Records http://skillupper.net/star/ https://www.facebook.com/meishismile http://soundcloud.com/meishismile http://meishismile.tumblr.com/
