Aoba Ichiko

Europe first press 2025. Deluxe Edition, Blue marble [Blue]. New, unsealed.
Utterly weightless in the best way. Ichiko Aoba floating somewhere between folk, ambient and quiet dream logic, everything soft edged and patiently placed. Guitars shimmer, arrangements barely touch the ground, and her voice feels like it’s happening just beside you rather than in front of you. It’s gentle without being sleepy, delicate without fading away. One of those records that slows the room down whether you mean it to or not. Proper magic. Very class.
