ctrlzofia this album is marvelous! i first listened to it about a month ago and it’s already one of my favorites ever. not only did the artwork really caught my attention but the intro track is so beautiful and haunting…. just as the rest of record feels like a really long daydream, it’s surreal and ethereal … i love it Favorite track: 1992.

Her collaboration with 7FO, released through EM Records, was selected as one of the best of the year by Shintaro Sakamoto. In addition to her self-produced works, she has participated in the works of Giant Claw, CVN, Shokuhin Matsuri a.k.a foodman, Dengaryu, KM, etc., and has released through overseas labels including TAR and Orange Milk.
