Windswept Adan

Album · 2020 · Ichiko Aoba · Hermine; produced by Ichiko Aoba & Taro Umebayashi

A girl gets sent away from home and ends up somewhere that finally welcomes her. This whole album is the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist. Press play and make your own. 🌊

Who it's for

Aoba frames the album as a soundtrack to an imaginary film, so listening becomes an act of gentle imaginative absorption: the mind has a soft, detailed world to move through instead of looping on its own worries.
