$24.95
<p class="faq-quote">"To listen to <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=ichiko+aoba" target="_blank">Ichiko Aoba</a> is to be drawn into a world as intimate as a warmly lit home, but cosmic in scale. Aoba's latest album, Luminescent Creatures is the culmination of her 15-year long career - during which she's collaborated with Japanese luminaries such as <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=Ryuichi+Sakamoto" target="_blank">Ryuichi Sakamoto</a>, <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=Haruomi+Hosono" target="_blank">Haruomi Hosono</a>, <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=Cornelius" target="_blank">Cornelius</a>, and more - and finds her deftly melding the jazz-infused folk of her early albums with the orchestral world building of her 2020 opus <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=windswept+adan" target="_blank">Windswept Adan</a>. Luminescent Creatures is about making meaningful connections against impossible odds. The sea is immense and ancient, but it is also reminiscent, housing a deep record of fossils and recollections of how we've treated our planet. 'When I stare into the seemingly bottomless black depths of a trench,' Ichiko reflects. 'I occasionally see the blinking light of some rainbow-colored lifeform.' That organism may not speak any known language, but in that moment it managed to communicate in a universal way. 'My beloved Luminescent Creatures.'" - Psychic Hotline</p> <ul> <li>black vinyl pressing</li> <li>includes large foldout poster</li> <li>music label: Psychic Hotline 2025</li> </ul>
