Claude says:Kaoru "Kishi Bashi" Ishibashi is a violinist-turned-loopsmith who played with of Montreal and Regina Spektor before going solo in 2011 — this is his second album, built from layered strings, beatboxed percussion, and buoyant indie pop hooks. You picked it up nine years after release in early 2025 and it's been with you ever since, heaviest through winter 2026.
