Tilt (Kahimi Karie album)


Tilt is the third proper full-length by Shibuya-kei artist Kahimi Karie. It features songs by Momus, Arto Lindsay, Julien Ribot and The Olivia Tremor Control, among others. The track "Pygmalism" was taken from the Momus-penned EP Journey To The Centre Of Me; "Do You Know The Time?" and "Metaphors" were reprised from Karie's Olivia Tremor Control collaboration EP Once Upon A Time of the same year.
The album was released in 2000 by the Japanese branch of the Polydor major label; it was available in the rest of the world as an import. Tilt can be seen as bridging the stylistic gap between Karie's bubbly early work and later, more demanding releases.
