Japanese songwriter Ichiko Aoba has just dropped Luminescent Creatures, an album that’s getting serious love from all the fans. Aoba’s known for pairing simple yet refined arrangements with deeply personal lyrics that feel like you’ve stumbled into a private universe containing just you and the music. The album captures all that dreamy intensity she’s famous for. This new album takes inspiration from her travels around the Ryukyu Islands in Okinawa, where she went diving in the surrounding seas. The result is a dreamy collection that captures both the endless beauty and the thrilling unpredictability of the ocean itself.
