about

“Ethereal froth scudding across the sky. The sunset cleanses today, leaving it glowing. Shining water, silent waves.”

“i hold a wish for you” is aspidistrafly’s anticipated first full album. Drawing references to Banana Yoshimoto’s literary classic “Moonlight Shadow”, aspidistrafly weaves through the solitary atmosphere of the novel with their own narratives inspired by several excursions outside the confines of their immediate surroundings. This latest release invokes delicate moments with nine tracks that combine acoustic instrumentation across April’s warm vocal harmonies, soft floating textures and binaural field recordings.

“i hold a wish for you” is an invitation to travel with sound through lyrical melodies and pastoral sonic scapes, accompanied with artwork by April Lee and Kobe-based artist Rika M.

The vinyl is a perfect presentation of a perfect album. This has helped me remember the beauty of life, and to bring awareness to the spaces and margins between moments, between breaths. Thank you to nujabes, who helped and taught haruka nakamura and encouraged him to return to piano to record this album, and thank you to haruka for assembling this masterpiece. He wanted to create a sound to accompany a beautiful sunset, and he succeeded. jammingdevice
