A 7-inch cut from the digital EP by Shimon Hoshino, a "lo-fi surf" producer who is a hot topic in the chill/lo-fi scene!
It includes the collaborative track "closer" with Shonan-born, Southern California-raised singer-songwriter Michael Kaneko.
Side A's "closer" is the first collaboration with Michael Kaneko, who shares a lot in common with us - Shonan, the sea, surfing. The comfortable medium tempo lo-fi beat, the beautiful and sad piano melody, and the retro melodic vocal harmony create a dreamy atmosphere. Side B's "freeze mains" is a collaboration with Hawaii-born, Kyoto-raised trilingual rapper "Salty Jua." The crisp rap, set against the elegant piano and smoky lo-fi beat, is an exhilarating piece with rhymes and flow like surging waves.
