Back in March, Hinako Omori released her debut album a journey... and what a journey it takes the audience for! Or stream of consciousness as the artist suggests. The release is a perfect example of the kind of music that is meant for soothing emotions and making the listener's life simply better.
There's something special about the East Asian approach to ghost ambient pop; the artists like Green Horizon, Ichiko Aoba or everyone at Ricco Label prove it time after time. Omori is no exception here. Although residing in UK, she was born in Japan and must have taken with her some of this ghostly beauty and put it onto the debut album. It "combines inner healing and natural landscapes into in an immersive cartography of the mind in ambient electronics" - and the word "landscapes" is not a coincidence here, Omori hides tons of field recordings within the drone compositions, making them alive and filled with the primal stress relief abilities. The album really feels like a walk through a forest during a warm, summer night and I love it.
And there's another focus point of the artist as she presents interest in the healing properties of sounds. This is an album engineered to heal and make your life easier, even if for a moment. If it's not for the particular frequencies Omori uses, it's certainly true for her soothing vocals - the gems of airy and ethereal singing, often sounding like extremely intimate whispers flying directly into your ear and mind. Subtle melodies flow effortlessly through the air; any listener is bound to catch themselves daydreaming very quickly.
