"Body," the much-anticipated debut album from music maker Amy Furuhara, aka Aaamyyy (stylized as AAAMYYY), opens with an instrumental of tumbling beats, skittering hi-hats, wonky nighttime synth and pitch-shifted samples of a Spanish monologue — the portal of sound aims to transport the listener to a world 596 years in the future.

The album's concept, written by Furuhara, goes like this: "It is the year 2615, β-version. The future city is overrun with conspiratorial politics and conflicts among people. In the suburbs, almost as in hiding, sits a small neuroscience research lab, into which a secret organization creeps in. What is 'humanity,' what is it 'to live?' "
