Utakata no hibi

The final album from the Japanese collective Mariah is a deeply surreal, breathtakingly unique fusion of traditional Armenian folk melodies and cutting-edge 80s new wave. Anchored by Yasuaki Shimizu's immaculate production, the record weaves hypnotic, repetitive synth-pop rhythms with cryptic vocals and atmospheric saxophone, resulting in an incredibly quirky, highly sought-after art pop masterpiece.
