Seul musicien d'un album pourtant luxuriant et étoffé, Kishi Bashi est au coeur de la synthèse de l'indie actuel, évoquant Of Montreal, Grizzly Bear ou Sufjan Stevens. Brillant, bilingue (de nombreux passages en Japonais) et joyeux!

Consequence of Sound : As he is still an of Montreal member, the music is, for all intents and purposes, off-kilter, particularly the opening chants and swirl of guitar and drums (which sound vaguely familiar to band recordings). The middle section, though, takes a more even-keeled approach to pop, balancing the looped whistles with peaceful, yet evocative vocals. Bashi then rides the song to a seemingly natural conclusion: a jumble of sounds and voices, as if a happy clown were walking a rainbow bridge into the sunset.
