Qasim Naqvi - Teenages Genre_INDIE ROCK / POP / FOLK Japanese import re-issue of HitomiDawn Of Midi drummer Qasim Naqvi steps up to Erased Tapes with his debut LP Teenages. The album sees Naqvi dialling back the percussion and putting a modular synthesiser front and centre. Sometimes this choice spawns pretty arpeggio pieces ala Jean Michel Jarre, sometimes it allows Naqvi to create more impressionistic electroacoustic soundscapes. Either way its a rich and harmonious salvo from the Pakistani American artist. The likes of Sarah Davachi
