IKEBANA

Without labels such as Flau, I'd probably remain slightly ignorant of the amazing quality of music coming out of Japan at the moment. This is an amazing collaborative remix between Sakaimasayuki & Sigh Society; who craft Alone into a beautifully minimal masterpiece. Stream below:

Cuushe

This just came up on shuffler.fm (God bless shuffler). It's part of a new EP from the dreamy Japanese songstress titled Girl you know that I am here but the dream, her first release since her debut album Red Rocket Telepathy 3 years ago.
What's so beautiful about Cuushe's sound is the use of her voice not just as an accompaniment to her music but as an instrument itself, all in all it's pretty breathtaking stuff. Also, Julia Holter, Teen Daze and Blackbird Blackbird have all contributed remixes to the EP so it's probably going to be pretty difficult to ignore.

'Girl You Know that I am Here' is released via the great Japanese label Flau, it's available to order here.
