Luminescent Creatures (Eco-Vinyl LP)

Whether you know Ichiko Aoba through the Nintendo Switch version of Link's Awakening, her collaborations with Haruomi Hosono, Mac DeMarco, or Ryuichi Sakamoto, or maybe you just stumbled across her phenomenal album Windswept Adan and fell in love like we did, however you've come to be entranced by her you'll be thrilled to hear there's a brand new album on the way next month. Luminescent Creatures finds Aoba at her ethereal best. Get ready to dream. - Flying Out

To listen to Ichiko Aoba is to be drawn into a world as intimate as a warmly lit home, but cosmic in scale. The Japanese singer, songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, has taken a dedicated online fanbase built from TikTok sounds and critically acclaimed, and translated that into international tours spanning more than 20 countries. She was well known in Japan—collaborating with artists like Haruomi Hosono, Cornelius, and the late Ryuichi Sakamoto—but Windswept Adan earned the adoration of fellow musicians like Japanese Breakfast, Pomme and Weyes Blood. Aoba’s latest album, Luminescent Creatures, is the culmination of her 15-year long career and finds her deftly melding the jazz-infused folk with the orchestral world building.
