Yoko Ono has been an innovative and influential force on music and art, while simultaneously campaigning for peace on the world’s stage. BETWEEN MY HEAD AND THE SKY, a career-defining album made with her new Plastic Ono Band. The record is a gorgeous, mind-melting blend of styles, restating and sharpening themes while plunging into the always-mysterious future. Band includes Keigo Cornelius Oyamada and his band members Yuko Araki and Shimmy Shimizu, Sean Lennon, Yuka Honda (of Cibo Matto) as well as NYC improvisers Erik Friedlander, Shahzad Ismaily, Michael Leonhart, Daniel Carter and Indigo Street. Raw rockers, electronic pulse glimmers, dark late-night improvisations and heart-breaking elegiac ballads – Yoko takes a variety of textual approaches on this beautifully balanced collection of work. A career-defining album by one of contemporary culture s reigning geniuses
