MIKO - PARADE (CD - USED m-/m-)

""Parade" is a lovely first album by Miko who is a new female artist hailing from Yokohama.The album was created like water-color paintings layering pale yet colorful inks delicately on rough sketches using instruments around her daily life such as electric & acoustic guitars, piano, synthesizers and samplers. In addition, all the vocals and mixing were done by this multi-instrumentalist. Parade is full of diverse moments but terms like dreamy, catchy, sad and comfortable might simply describe her sounds - Humming pure vocals that brings you an indefinable sadness, melancholic and floating tracks like My Bloody Valentine, guitars weeping like lo-fi bands and overwhelming beautiful melodies."
