High school-ditching, jazz-studying woodshedder Zach Saginaw picked the pseudonym ‘Shigeto’ in reference to his grandfather and the Japanese line in his heritage - an affectionate and genuine tribute to a culture and background that has informed and fed his music.

New album Lineage (released by Michigan’s fiercely original, trendsetting Ghostly International label) is a heady mix of contrasting styles of jazz, Motown, concréte, ambient and hip-hop, all centred in a vivid electronica soundworld and a rhythmic ingenuity that reveals an accomplished drummer behind its making.

Check out the title track below.
