Artist: Kishi Bashi | Album: Lighght | Released: 2014 | Genre: Psychedelic, Rock | Label: Joyful Noise Recordings (JNR149) | Country: USA | Duration: 00:37:14
Over the course of two albums, songwriter/violinist/composer Kaoru Ishibashi has proven he isn’t afraid of big ideas. For his sophomore effort, the man behind the Kishi Bashi name could have remained content performing the same kind of breezy chamber pop that made his debut, 151a, a surprise hit in 2012. Instead of reinforcing his laurels, he pushes new boundaries on Lighght, seeking new sounds, but unfortunately missing more often than he hits.
