Kokoro

Sababa 5 & Yurika Hanashima ·2024

"Kokoro. This is one that I found in the Japanese music section of the world aisle. I love Japan. I love Japanese artists. Um I took Japanese for like 3 years in high school, so whenever I get to explore the culture and the music in Japan, it's always really fun for me. First of all, this is a black vinyl, which is really you know, classic. 'A Middle Eastern psych, funk, disco, and Japanese folk and pop converge to create a mesmerizing new sound.' You had me at Middle Eastern psych, funk, disco, folk."
