Baku Furukawa is precise in the intimacy expressed by his music, reaching into the depths of his imagination to create a sonic world unlike anything else. Born in California and raised in Japan, his music draws influences from genres as varied as bossa nova, traditional folk music, jazz, classical music, and pop, to create music quite unlike anybody else. From lush string quartets, to jangly guitar chords, to even the melancholy finger-picking of a nylon string guitar; there’s no sound that Furukawa cannot master. With a who’s who of the Japanese alternative scene appearing on the album, this album is a classic!
