New Optimism is Miho Hatori (formally of Cibo Matto ) 's new project. Debut EP, Amazon To LeFrak will be released July 27th 2018 on all digital formats from Phantom Limb . Pre-order now and listen to first single, Jet Setters http://phantomlimblabel.bandcamp.com/album/amazon-to-lefrak New Optimism is my attitude toward the shape of a music project, a borderless genre-less creation with experimental dance music, whatever you call it. I came up the name, New Optimism when I learned about the post-postmodernism term New Sincerity (irony). I wanted something that was the opposite of it.
