Nemo Asakura - the older ep (2011)



/Alt-folk, Indie folk, Folk indie, Folk pop, Folktronica, Chamber folk, Art pop/


Comment: this is a little yet very promising content from Japan and under a Japanese label, called Mayoware. All those 4 tracks, sung in English, function to head off into laid-back folk pop-ish soundscapes where, more detailly, can be seen a sublime communication between trilling fingerpicked/guitar arpeggios and epic orchestrations in the background. Furthermore, at times some snippets of rhythm and other patterns are electronic-veiled. However, this is an example of how it is possible to create glorious, heartbreaking music with a little amount of instruments beneath it. Consequently, in the first place, all the sonic layers must be accentuated with a strong quantity of spirituality as similarly as made out by velvety-voiced Nemo Asakura.
