0.0 Kusuriuri | April 6th 16

Legendary recording from one of the most unjustly forgotten game changers in the whole world; If
you have any love for songs with just a man, a guitar and his loneliness, you owe at least half of
your life to these recordings. It's one of most simultaneously beautiful and warm but terrifying
and desolate collection of songs you will find - It's hard to explain how it feels listening to
such peaceful, sitting-on-the-front-porch-on-autumn type chords from a simple acoustic guitar
contrasted with so many sad, even horrifying tales. Not just the quiet before the storm, it's like
peacefully accepting your end while watching the storm approach you. Stunning.
