Claude says:Kishi Bashi made this 2023 score as a companion to a film about Japanese American incarceration during WWII, layering orchestral strings and his characteristically warm, intricate arrangements over themes of displacement and resilience. You found it in mid-January and let it settle deep—cycling through "Coldest of the Camps" and "Red, White, and Blue" like you were turning something over in your hands, the kind of album that asks you to sit with it rather than just pass through.
