    I agree with Locksh, KEXP sound engineers are ultra talented. They're pumpin' out killer mixdowns. Heck, prefer the KEXP mixes better than the album. Incredible artists! She oozes raw emotion, articulate, and humble. Definitely influenced by bands of the late 80's. Remind me of The Psychedelic Furs.

    I discovered this band about an hour ago. I was looking on Spotify for "japanese music," hoping for traditional Japanese music. I found this instead, and thought I'd just see what it was like. It took about 10 seconds for me to be hooked. This album is fecking amazing, and I think I might be binging on this for the next week or so.

    @PavementIztRad Před 4 lety +26

    I hardly ever can say I truly like a piece of music that's new to me on my first listen but 'Diving Woman' is such a fantastically strong opener. It has these flourishes of being dreamy, shoegaze'ish, and even a little jammy in its own way. The guitars and bass sound so crisp and bright and tight and her voice is quite remarkable. Absolutely envious my cousin saw them live at The Thing in Port Townsend just a little over a week ago. Little wonder why he raved about them.
