Track List

This is an absolutely superb album that you’ll definitely want to play and listen to on vinyl. Whispered to be Gonchichi’s career-defining masterpiece, this is a truly satisfying release. Centered around the striking melodies created by the duo—featuring a return to their roots with acoustic guitar fused with digital sounds and electronica, as well as the introduction of strings and woodwinds—this is a masterpiece album brimming with a fresh soundscape and an exceptionally pleasant listening experience. It showcases the depth of Gonzalez Mikami and Chichi Matsumura as they explore new musical horizons, and the enchanting world of the “Gonchichi Sound”—a form of “comfort music” that defies genre classification, blending jazz, bossa nova, exotic, mood, easy listening, ambient, and more. 13 tracks in total. The analog cutting was masterfully handled by Shinya Matsushita (Piccolo Audio Works). We highly recommend this album. Includes a 550mm × 800mm double-page spread poster featuring illustrations by the familiar artist Mick Itaya.
