An abrasive yet beautiful album that trips every now and then but is otherwise a benchmark for experimental pop that 5 years after its release has not been duplicated or mimicked well enough even to bear a passing resemblance to the quality of SOPHIE's work and spirit.
Dawn in the Adan (live at Milton Court, London, 2022)
by Ichiko Aoba & 12 Ensemble
10/10
i have never cried while listening to music but this has me dangerously close, ichiko aoba is like if every comforting feeling could be captured and translated into music. i love her, her work never fails to amaze and stagger me
i dont know what i could say about ichiko aoba that i havent already said, this is a beautiful song that kills me every time. if they make blankets out of ichiko aobas voice i would trade my first born for one.
