"There’s the shimmering transcendence of “Lost to Follow”, the Cafe del Mar like mantric looping and politely insistent guitar motifs on “Collapsing the Vanguard"

"The synth pads are familiar but rather than sounding generic the main refrain just sounds blissful and balmy"

the track has been reincarnated and is having a more serene existence this time round, and when it sounds this nice that's OK.

"Equilibrium continues her artisinal analogue approach - no AI, no samples, no arpeggiators, no software instruments - a hand built labor of love."

"inspired by mid-1980s Japanese new age and ambient music, otherwise known as kankyō ongaku (environmental music), and less directly by vintage Italian experimental music"

"The album is a collaborative triumph that blurs the lines between song and soundscape, and might even be that rare thing, an ambient project that looks, as well as sounds good on a stage."

"The new album sees these studio neighbours embarking on another ethereal voyage of discovery to the land where ambient, new age, minimalism and classical meet"

!This album is perfect start of the day music, just as well really as I’m writing about it at 5.45am."

"If you want a good natured fusion of throwback chill-out, with a cosmic vibe and a psychedelic twist that will sound great over the summer then look no further."

" five easy rhythms which will blow a pleasant breeze onto any summer (in)activities, whilst Mizutani noodles along without a care in the world on guitar whilst singing songs of who knows what"

This new LP sees him descend from the new age stratosphere for a somewhat more grounded release, his usual wispy, well meaning electronica part exchanged for the more gravity beholden autoharp, upright piano and vintage Yamaha keyboard

The track is a singular abstract jazz soundscape that sounds like a Sam Gendel and Joseph Shabason love child, and you shouldn't need much more encouragement to take a listen than that.

his warm, affable, velvety vocals delivering a nice line in lyrically ambiguous yet compelling vocals. But just wait for the K&D Sessions era downtempo dub riddim which eases this track past the stiff singer songwriter competition

Mycelial bioluminescence takes just what’s needed from real world instruments and distributes the micro-samples where required, and so it continues, track after blissful track

if you liked any of her previous LPs then you’ll immediately feel right at home, those translucent vocals and softly plucked guitar still melt into what sounds like the ambient soundscapes to your most pleasant dreams.
