An artist with a distinctly Los Angeles style who studied jazz piano at the prestigious New York University of the New School—which has produced artists such as Robert Glasper—and expresses himself using techniques from both the jazz and beat scenes. The album opens with “tom is in heaven,” a slow jazz track focused on the piano’s tone, followed by the dreamy pop/rock “eyes closed,” the rhythm-box-driven, melancholic “sambinho” “Get High” (sample 3), the beautiful electric piano waltz “Beautiful” (sample 1), and “Não Mais Saudade” (sample 2)—a track expressing a longing for Brazilian fusion—are among the 12 tracks on this album, which is thoroughly psychedelic and dreamy while rooted in jazz. Be sure to listen with headphones to fully appreciate even the subtlest effects. (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
