3.0 goodEgarran | February 1st 21

Japanese francophile hippie tunes par excellence. *Chef's kiss*

2 Bumps | Bump

4.5 superbPangea | February 1st 21

I only added this to the database for an uniimportant list gimmick but it is super good actually. Warm, cute & quirky indie/chamber pop

3.0 goodfog | December 21st 21

It's full of ideas and has boundless energy, but it's a little twee for my taste. I think it will probably thrill someone more in tune with its cute meets kitchen sink aesthetic

3.6 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | May 26th 21

Very pretty, and very lush psych/chamber/baroque pop that uses chimes, flutes, brass, and all sorts of orchestral instruments to embark the listener on an ever-flowing journey of French-inspired Japanese cutesiness. It's got that cozy vibe that always pleases me without ever wowing me.

3.5 greatBedex | February 16th 21

Very nice. To be fair to the debut I had much better conditions for this one, but Okapi did feel far superior and more engaging, especially in the first few songs. I did phase out a bit about halfway, but some of the tracks still managed to bring me back. 7 because it was a bit too quirky in its first half (but the second is cool), 8 because it brings back the soft math rock influences a bit, 9 becuase it is nice and chill but also bcs its conclusion exemplifies what I find a bit less interesting in this. STylistically this is very similar to the debut: soft inidie folk with very varied instrumentation. The chimes reminded me of Takk a fair bit actually. 1 and 3 were perhaps my faves but I'd need to pay more attention in the second half of the record next time. 3.6

4.0 excellentdidnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | February 10th 21

An unadulterated whimsy that only the fusion of Japanese and French chamber-comfy folk music can bring.

4.5 superbCyan isn't a shade of blue. | February 1st 21

Maximalist, gorgeous, memorable, weird, and original. What more could a guy ask for?
