Folk/Americana
The wondrous solo folk stylings of Japanese multi-instrumentalist and singer Ichiko Aoba have now made themselves widely available, thanks to the generous work of US label Ba Da Bing. Formerly, they were only available as expensive imports. But 2020's 'Windswept Adan', by far her most well-developed LP, has kindled an explosion of foreign interest. This reissue is a repress in larger proportions, contrasting to the short run of records on Ichiko's own Hermine label. A beautiful concept album telling the story of a young girl banished to the fictional isle of Adan, you can expect a naked, honest and tactile auditory experience showing off Aoba's musicianship across choice folk songs like 'Hagupit' and 'Easter Lily'.
