Why it's here
Japanese ambient built from folk loops; disarming and slightly haunted
Folk loops leave Sakura gentle, strange and faintly haunted. Susumu Yokota packs warmth and melancholy into the same small space, with nothing pushed forward hard enough to break the spell. Modest music, long afterimage.
