Lighght

Kaoru Ishibashi radically expands the intricate, violin-looping chamber pop of his debut into wildly unpredictable, heavily synthesized progressive pop territory. The arrangements frequently dive into chaotic, 1970s progressive rock detours and dizzying electronic beat programming while retaining an overwhelmingly joyful, kaleidoscopic atmosphere. The title is derived directly from a minimalist, one-word poem by Aram Saroyan.
