"A multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, and visual artist from Southern California, Cameron Lew has crafted his Ginger Root project steadily since 2017, inviting a fervent and growing legion of fans into storylines drawn across mediums. The Ginger Root sound -- handmade yet immaculately polished synth-pop, alt-disco, boogie, and soul -- takes shape through Lew's lens as an Asian-American growing up enamored by 1970s and '80s music, specifically the creative and cultural dialogue between Japanese City Pop and its Western counterparts from French Pop to Philly Soul to Ram-era McCartney. He spins his retro-minded influences and proliferates savvily in the present, synthesizing a songwriter's wit, an editor's eye, and a producer's resource into something singular and modern. SHINBANGUMI, his long-awaited third LP, and Ghostly International debut, translates roughly to a new season of a show. Splitting sessions between locations in Japan and back in Orange County, Lew paid extra attention to SHINBANGUMI's track arrangement, tapping his close circle for input, including members of his live band and his longtime video collaborator, David Gutel." - Ghostly International * Ghostly International debut from multi-instrumentalist Cameron Lew * 'Sunray & Juban TV Building' colored vinyl (please note: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo) * limited edition * tracklist: 1.
