鹿児島砂漠

A prolific slushwave pioneer meets with a mysterious ambient artist, embracing you as they sleepily walk through dark, loamy textures, beckoned by distant voices that ameliorate like mirages, buffeting atop a cool, calming breeze.

Hiraeth Records present 鹿児島砂漠 (Kagoshima Desert), a sonic journey and collaborative release by popular artist desert sand feels warm at night and elusive producer ⦓🍊⦔ タンジェリン, fit with swirling tracks decorated with fine shimmering textures.

A unique sound, borrowing heavily from slushwave as well as more challenging genres like the unorthodox sampling style of post-vaporwave and the uncanny atmosphere of dark ambient, the artists drape elongated ballad-like instrumentation over patiently swaying percussion. Soundscapes smoulder with warmth and a welcoming tone in front of you, quietly playing out under a cool twilight sky as notes and beats stretch up through the darkness above.

You are swayed gently on an ambient breeze, your eyes squinting slightly as the wind’s soft edge sprays fine sparkling sand into the ether, swirling with a slushwave brilliance in the foreground of your view. The visage rolling and blossoming modestly in the night as desert sand feels warm at night and ⦓🍊⦔ タンジェリン project beautiful piano-led slowjams up into the balmy air above you.
