Building on the dreamy atmosphere of their previous debut album, this ambitious work delves into a gentle, expansive, soft-psychedelic, and fantastical soundscape where ambient, electro-acoustic, and modern jazz elements blend naturally.
“Mana,” which also serves as the album title, is a term in Hawaiian culture meaning “spiritual power” or “primordial strength.” The album explores themes of connection to Hawaiian ancestors and the land, as well as a reflection on the artist’s own roots; this introspective spirit permeates the entire album, lending it a warm depth. 7 tracks total.
