LEO TAKAMI Vinyl & CDs

Review: As a follow-up to 2020's acclaimed Felis Catus & Silence, Leo Takami returns to Unseen Worlds with a new album of finely sculpted, airy compositions. Takami's sound often orbits his delicate, jazzy guitar playing, but there's a sumptuous palette of instrumentation which ebbs and flows around it. As well as jazz, there's a strong sense of Japanese environmental music in the over-arching serenity of Next Door. Using the beauty of everyday life experience as inspiration for his meandering instrumental narratives, Takami's latest work is a soundtrack to make even the gloomiest day brighter.
