About:
Kitchen. Label is proud to present the
first full-length album by
aspidistrafly, a sound & visual project
formed by April Lee and Ricks Ang.
'i hold a wish for you' is an artbook +
cd with references to Banana Yoshimoto's
literary classic 'Moonlight Shadow'
weaving through their own
narratives inspired by several
excursions outside the confines of their
immediate surroundings. 'i hold a wish
for you' invokes delicate moments and
a feeling of connection with people and
places faraway with nine tracks that
combine acoustic instrumentation across
broad washes of warm vocal
harmonies, soft floating textures and
binaural field recordings. From the pure
lyrical intentions of 'On the Summer
Solstice' to the densely layered
sonic scape of '??', 'i hold a wish for
you' shows a a group as equally invested
in melody as it is in experimentation.
'i hold a wish for you' also features a
collaboration track with Haruka Nakamura
(schole records) and is packaged in a
customized 6 fold accordion
photo album with photography by
aspidistraflyÆs April Lee and Kobe-based
artist, Rika Motodoi. This album is an
invitation to travel with sound and go
forth into the world created by the
artists.
