"Swatta" breathes unity, drives hope, happiness and motivation to go forward and have a purpose in life. It brings its sounds from appreciation of life as it comes day by day without thinking too far into the future or past. . It is based on a purpose in life also called ?Ikagai?-Ikigai (ee-key-guy) is a Japanese concept that combines the terms iki, meaning ?alive? or ?life,? and gai, meaning ?benefit? or ?worth. ikigai is a state of wellbeing that arises from devotion to activities one enjoys, which also brings a sense of fulfillment. The number of collaborations on this is endless, acting like a big famiy working together. Chepang has really put a lot into this effort and it?s crazy that the collaborations fit so seamlessly into the rest of the material. Sometimes it?s grind and punk, sometimes it?s psychedelic free jazz jams, and other times approach the cybergrind insanity of Agoraphobic Nosebleed, but there?s always something new to discover and some substance underneath the speed and technical showpieces.
