Wanted to like Hard ni sasete but it just didn't connect on my one and a half listens, this rev has me intrigued/makes me want to try Tujiko again

Keep forgetting to say this is a great write-up. Tried listening to this the other day but couldn't get into it, but I'll try again soon.

thank ye Lord Hippocrene! give this time and hugs and a darkroom; hope it opens up to you

also @DadKung patience/sparseness factors aside, I actually think this is a good deal more accessible than Hard ni Sasete in many ways - mix of deadpan and emotive qualities on that and a lot of her earlier stuff is a real acquired taste and largely done away with here

Relistens confirming slowish start + divine middle stretch + deservedly indulgent second disc, not 100% on her vox at some parts but like who cares this is good and big

Beautiful album, excellent to unwind to. Don't Worry, I'll Be Here and Fossil Words are the highlights for me after one listen

Tujiko's vocals, haptic and bold,
Close mic placement, a story untold.
The brave sound of spit, a component in play,
A reverberated whisper, a voice that leads the way.

In conclusion, Tujiko's music, a treasure untold,
Her Crépuscule I & II, a story to behold.
A soundscape of the personal and abstract,
A musical journey, unique and tightly wrapped.

This is the only truly exceptional album i've heard from 2023 so far. Everything else has ranged from fucking awful to good-not-great

Would otherwise agree, but the new Gezan is fantastic and almost on par with this. Dunno if it'd be as much your speed, but peep the opener or single from that anyhow

Finally got around to this! Two listens in and it is definitely Good, though I am not yet sure how Good. I tend to like the longer tracks better.
