Album Notes & Community Reviews

On 'Separation and Diffusion', the band constructs a meticulously calculated shoegaze soundscape defined by guitarist Makoto Gomi's production, which layers guitars that shift between delicacy and exuberance. The album's dense yet lyrical atmosphere is enhanced by progressive rhythmic approaches, the inclusion of nostalgic piano melodies, and the innocent, breathy vocals of Yuki Nakajo woven throughout the instrumentation.
