Arriving with the warmth and brightness
of the rain showers of summer, æA Letter
From YesterdayÆ, the debut album by
Starke, is altogether a document of that
inner peacefulness, the encircling
captivation of the undisturbed, and
pleasant moments of everyday. Consisting
of members Shunichiro Fujimoto, known
for his glistening, acoustic-ambient
magnificence as Fjordne, and Yushi Mori,
renowned as an extremely talented and
unique visionary of percussion, through
bands such as ???????? (Meteor
Kishodai), ?, and Under Groove, the two
artists have come together to produce an
astounding work displaying tenderness,
the understanding of reflection, in a
comforting melody of those peaceful
moments of yesterdays.
Originally created by the duo as an
escape to the gloomy weekends of bad
weather, secluded inside homes, Starke
have created not only warmth from this
solitude, but a presence of something
more welcoming, of the existence of a
softhearted surrounding, soaking with
that imagination of wishing, of those
experiences we all hope for. Field
recordings and found sounds add dashes
of realism into acoustic environments as
they transform into moving moments, kept
close, while drum rhythms swell in soft
anthems of lightness, and exploration.
Such is the upswing of these passing
emotions, given even more consistent
beauty through the beautifully-lended
vocals of Fuyu, allowing everything its
own place, and trace in tranquility.
Displaying an endearing spirit
throughout the albumsÆ existence, æA
Letter From YesterdayÆ touches the
moments of these endless days, whether
staying in the comfort of a home, or
entering the outside world. Upon
visiting the outside again, after a
rain, everything feels so much
different, with sparkling rejuvenation,
and a promising hope of the beauty for
the future. Further bathed in pianos,
whirls of strings and dotted with
processed, soothing pops, Starke entrust
listeners with their experience of
amiability, character, and spirit,
producing æA Letter From YesterdayÆ,
which is a just and beautiful, exemplary
model of the splendor of everyday life.
