The album, which follows 2016’s On the Quakefish, sees Ken traversing from the ethereal (‘Douijiri’) to the aquatic (‘Wakihiri’) to the industrial (‘Sawariyanagi’) seamlessly.

UkabazUmorezU – roughly translated to slow and steady wins the race – is, as the title suggests, a richly-layered beautiful slow burner from the Kanagawa musician.

Pre-order a copy here ahead of its 20th October 2017 release, and watch the hypnotic videos for ‘Doujiri’ and ‘Wochikaeri to Uzume’ below.
