Kishi Bashi, that’s the moniker of  K Ishibashi, collaborator and tour-member of acts like of Montreal, Regina Spektor, and Sondre Lerche. His own songs feel like an delightful excursion into epic orchestral spheres. I have to admit that I haven’t heard such refreshing pop tunes in a long, long time. Marvelous!

After a first EP last year, K is releasing his debut solo album, 151a, on April 10th via Joyful Noise.
