Pray-tell if you please, all you’ve seen
a seagull sings and lilies floating away in sea
Pray-tell if you please, all you’ve heard
a mother’s voice lost in a shore, kids swim as far as they please
Pray-tell if you please, all you take lucky as a paperhat floating away in sea
Satomimagae builds quiet songs around acoustic guitar and her ghostly whispers, then billows with field recordings, low-end synths and muslin textures of sound. I keep seeing Grouper comparisons, but the Japanese singer-songwriter’s sense of space feels more akin to Phil Elverum or Mirah’s early records, PNW masters of acoustic atmospheres deep and dense. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/amp-stacked-ambient-japanese-folk-black-rave/ Lars Gotrich
Deep, interesting, strong and emotional. Just a great work. Liz Harris will always have something strong, special and surprising in the best artistic way. risovic

I never get tired of this album. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to it front to back. I share it with friends whenever I get the chance. I’ve been listening to Ambient and other synth music for decades and have never heard anything quite like it. manycat
