This new release reinterprets the impactful debut album from 2015, "Junior Refugee " through the lens of her current sensibilities. In response to the positive reception following its digital release, the decision has been made to release an LP version.
In 2015, ermhoi made a striking debut with "Junior Refugee " and now, she presents this new work by reinterpreting the same album with her current sensibilities. The decision to release an LP version was made in response to the significant impact and feedback received after the digital release. (Please note that there are no plans for a CD release.)
Since her debut, ermhoi has rapidly built a solid career. Notably, she has received praise for her talent, including guest vocals at Tokyo Shio Koji, acclaimed by Steve Reich. In recent years, she has received offers from both domestic and international artists such as Daiki Tsuneta Millennium Parade, WONK, Eiko Ishibashi, Shun Ishiwaka, Jim O'Rouke, Phew, Ibeyi, and more. This album marks her return after two years since "Dream Land " in 2021.
This work, produced after eight years of activity and growth, reinterprets the elusive debut album "Junior Refugee " which had not seen additional production for a long time. Apart from its high artistic quality, the album brings a sophisticated sound that transcends the boundaries of pops and jazz. ermhoi describes her approach to the production process as facing her past self anew and updating her expression, likening it to a painter layering strokes on a canvas over the course of many years. For a musician who continues to age, accumulate experiences, and inevitably confront past hits, this album may represent a positive affirmation of the struggles and revisions inherent in creating new works.
