Comment: Having no distinct preference of this 11-pieced whole`s general impression, however, should it be categorized either "electronica" or "(indie) pop"/"folk music"? This can be dissected as similar as whenever you were lost in thought regarding the sound by the Icelandic elfin combo mùm. Lots of feyness is played up here via naive glockenspiel/clockwork toy-relied snippets, slow melodica-based shifts and excellent chiming guitar approach as well. Moreover, such kind of sound is the brand one for Totokoko label, a Japan-based records. All is very fine on it, from the very start to the closure point, though, my special tracks are fourth (heartbreaking harmonies!) and tenth (otherworldly soothing minimal ambientas if coming from a remote, aluminium-coated wasteland) in the song list, respectively. Thank you, Daisuke.
