New Album 'Crispy Moon' is out today!

Our third album 'Crispy Moon' has hatched today! Happy Crispy Moon day! 

I'm feeling very lucky to work with all these amazing friends to make this happen. 
Since I move to London in April 2019, I've been working on this album. 
I started working at cafe OTO and met loads of lovely people there, Rozi and Agathe has been such amazing friends to support me being in London.

Really great to become friends with Clementine March, Vanishing Twin,Haha sounds collective, Trush Kit, Mermaid Chunky...  and all other
amazing musicians and artists. 

We had a residency at PRAH foundation  and recorded at total refreshment centre in 2020, 
Hannes Plattmeier at Ashfield Street Studios, London mixed and co-produced all the songs apart from one which Cathy Lucas from Vanishing Twin has mixed and produced. 
Mastered by Stephen Kerrison at Tall tree audio mastering.

Lucy Mead helped me managing Yama Warashi for 2020-2021, she has been such a amazing support, Thank you Lucy!
