Kakubarhythm
- Cat No: KAKU-136
- updated:2024-12-03
A superb work of folk, classical guitar, electronica, and minimalism, enveloped in an ambient, chill-out, Balearic, twilight atmosphere. The soft, dubby soundscape is gentle and elegant. We’ve received a limited-edition cassette tape of “Guitar Esquisse Volume One,” the debut solo album by Shigetomo Yoshizawa, guitarist for YOUR SONG IS GOOD.

Featuring XTAL as co-producer, this 10-track album is based on the keyword “DUB”—which naturally emerged between the two artists—and consists of numerous fragments they had been recording over time, which XTAL expanded and reconstructed.
All 10 tracks showcase the alternative, post-punk, acoustic, and folky personal edginess that has been passed down through the Durutti Column lineage. The cassette tape sound is also a delight. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
