Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating at the glossy intersection of environmental music and high-end resort pop, this Japanese ensemble crafted an incredibly slick, synthesized oasis. 'Breeze' utilizes pristine digital production, breezy saxophone leads, and aquatic ambient textures to evoke the feeling of a luxurious tropical getaway. The album is a premier artifact of Japan's bubble-era fascination with utopian leisure soundscapes.
