The latest release from Ultraflex is a love letter to their recent time in Japan, a cover of iconic singer-songwriter and keyboardist Hiroshi Sato’s 'Say Goodbye'. Sato was a pioneering keyboardist in the Japanese “city pop” soft rock and jazz fusion movements during the 70s and 80s. Ultraflex’s sound is a nod to their ancestors in the historical lineage of spectacular electronic music, like Sato’s, resulting in a catchy, contemporary whirlwind of dance floor weirdness. The duo’s material is both kitsch and high concept; pushed through a contemporary pop culture filter, Ultraflex creates their own brand-new potion carefully tailored to your needs.
Ultraflex discovered Sato’s original 'Say Goodbye' while partying at Ohm in Berlin some years ago. Kari declared that it would be the perfect (and incredibly inappropriate) song to have played at her funeral, with the line “hope you won’t be lonely” being directed towards her partner, Ådne Meisfjord, who co-produced the cover. Since then, the song has been a favorite of theirs and a big inspiration in terms of production, especially the epic vocoder sound in the verses and fantastic synth soundscape throughout the song.
“One of our first dreams together as a band was to travel to Japan. We longed to slurp up delicious ramen and soak up strange inspiration in the neon lit streets of Tokyo. Last year Ultraflex’s vision finally came into fruition and we got to lounge beneath cherry blossom trees with our matchas and onigiris. We didn’t want to say goodbye, so we took a piece of Japan home with us. Here’s our rendering of the Hiroshi Sato banger ‘Say Goodbye’!”

Lyrics:
I can't say I'm sorry one more time
Let me make my break from this state of mind
And say goodbye, I'm gone
Though you tried to own me
I guess there's no harm done
Hope you won't be lonely
My life turned to yours, where does that end?
I just can't be such good friends with your friends
So say goodbye, my dear
Don't believe it's easy
And when the air is clear
Hope you'll want to see me
Though this scene might be worth playing out
'Til I've got some clue to what it's about
I'll say goodbye, I'm gone
Though you tried to own me
I guess there's no harm done
Hope you won't be lonely
Повторяем попытку...
