So hard to pick a favorite off of this... like the Windows XP Pinball sample in Chakra?! I'm blown away.

At points, this reminds me of the bands that defined early chillwave, like Ducktails, Memory Tapes, or Predator Vision; the guitars are similarly reverb-y and chorus-drenched, chords splashing out lazily and slow, swaggers subverted into saunters. However, the Eastern melodic flavor gives this more of an overtly mystical aesthetic, and the instrumentation and compositional elements are far more exotic and interesting. Highly recommended.

Throbbing dark electronic music that summons visions of forbidding caves and stormy nights.

The Taiwanese duo's latest is a ticket to a sonic space that’s familiar yet otherworldly, a half-dreamt subtropical archipelago one senses they’re only beginning to map.

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem!
