Comment: this 7-notch is an issue of the discography of
Totokoko imprint from Japan, which predominantly is being a platform for indie
and folk and mellow electronic mixed songwriting. The same could be admitted
about this issue. More profoundly, one can hear drowsy melodica-based drones,
lone string plucking, hovering electronic motives, poignant semi-orchestrations
making your soul bleeding (at Cinematic Twin Leaf, for instance). In
fact, all the other compositions have been made in a similar vein though inner
relation between the aforementioned elements might be different. At times the
composition is complemented with psychedelic organs and fragile singing and
found sounds thereby giving a feeling as if sitting on the bench nearby the
picturesque woods of emitting otherworldly energy and power. At times you will
fall into sleep, dreaming uncanny stories with sprites and faeries. The outing
is quite austere but any chord of it is adeptly drawn and made visible. Any detail makes sense. The
release is short-running thereof I would have liked to hear more from the
artist. Ultimately it could be admitted
it is a bloody great issue. Get it.
