“The songs of Japanese singer/songwriter Satomimagae tend to feel both intimate and boundless. Her gentle, exploratory folk carries a certain patient stillness to it, but it’s anything but predictable—each open space or pause leading to an unexpected pathway. “Numa,” the first single from her upcoming album Hanazono, feels just as free and open, but its arrangement is richer, denser, more subtly powerful.” Listen HERE
“Sunburned’s latest record, the exhilarating Pick a Day to Die, comes out in early March on the Three Lobed Label. It’s the quintessential pandemic project, pieced together out of what’s at hand in a long, solitary lockdown. We talked to one of the founders, John Moloney, about his long-running band, their influences, their process, this current album and how and when music can get back to normal.“ Read the interview HERE
“Lead single “Numa” is blurry and expansive, co-producer Hideki Urawa’s plaintive guitar plucks buoyed by ominous drones.

“Watercolor is about letting myself get all the way to the other side of a good cry, and finding complete elation on the other side,” nasimiYu continues. “Crying as cleansing. Taking an inner shower. This song is about being the opposite of cool, the opposite of nonchalant. It’s about allowing yourself to be as fully human as you can be. Bursting open with every color of the emotional spectrum all at once.” // P O T I O N S will be out May 7th on Figureight Records. Watch it HERE
