The seminal Japanese artist Kaito brings us 9 ambient and melodic tracks that were penned during the pandemic, and are full of harmonic and minimal ideas.
“Silent Cloud” gets the listen off to an atmospheric start, where fluid beats and hazy synth floats effortlessly, and “A Call From The Ground” follows with a chilling dreaminess that’s soothing.
Halfway through, “Summer Ocean” uses gentle keys and much intimacy for the graceful presence, while “Silent Sky” is a rich moment of cozy electro-pop that’s stylish and dance floor friendly.
Arriving close to the end, “Summer Sketch” unfolds almost as if a lullaby, as the gorgeous textures are aglow with beauty, and “Nexus 2” exits the listen with a cinematic appeal of droning, sci-fi stabs that enter the waves of resilience.
The recording moniker of Hiroshi Watanabe, the musician, photographer and DJ turns in a therapeutic and spiritual effort that takes the road of serenity during a very difficult time for the world.
