3.8 excellentErwann S. STAFF | July 5th 23

Aoba's most accessible album? Might well be, as qp only focuses on delivering lovely folk song after lovely folk song.

4.0 excellentBedex | October 4th 20

Quite similar to the prior LP in that it is simpler and more focused than 0, but is very successful at the simple folk and still has some occasionally more intriguing stuff. The intro track is part of that with a nice choirey piece that drags you into the album right away before Ichiko's beautiful guitar tone catches you at the beginning of 2. It gets very playful at some point which is quite unforeseen and well done - one of the rare in-track atmosphere changes on the record. 3 is pretty (like every track basically) but evokes really basic indie folk, and were it in English you could call it utahcore. 4 is similar but gets extra pretty in the second half. 5 is a great Ichiko jam and brings back some of the more intriguing harmonies and intricate strumming patterns that she does so well. 6 is also very pretty, but 7 is less compelling. 8 again has a nice intriguing melody, then 9 and 10 again go back to simplicity but both and especially 10 are very well executed, with 10 getting shatteringly melancholic and haunting - another superb jam, that lifts this up a point to a nice round 4.0

I would very happily get lost in this music forever. This girl has a truly special gift.

This is honestly the spring to Mahoroboshiya’s winter. It doesn’t bring the sense of isolation that her last LP did,
but it hits all the notes we’ve come to expect from her.
