DIY ambient J-pop by Sairi Ojima’s Kumachan Seal, accompanied by Le Makeup on guitar and lovely synth work by Takao, all lilting like a Far Eastern answer to Brenda Ray, or recalling Maria Minerva’s mellifluous downbeat bops. Highly addictive gear somewhere in the vicinity of Brenda Ray or Nite Jewel, with a bit of Mark Clifford/Seefeel-esque production stylings
Emerging on Japan’s revered EM Records in the glistening wake of aces by 7Fo, Tapes, and Xiao Yun, the maiden Kumachan Seal album keeps it blissed and dreamlike across a transportive raft of songs featuring Kumachan’s vox alternating between proper pop song structures and glossolalic intimation. She has been making music since her teens with indie and punk bands, but ‘Kumachan Seal’ finds her pursuing a more discreet, gentle style of songcraft blushing with melody and elegant harmony sure to win hearts from all corners.
Kumachan has us snagged from the front with ‘食む（Hamu）Graze’, loosely painting her gauzy vocals over a grubbing groove and finely FM-sculpted synths, and right thru to the gorgeous closing couplet of slow rolling Japanese house in ‘羹 (Atsumono) Soup’ and the Branda Ray-esque, Casio-keyed reggae of ‘Tinycell’. She makes superb use of room recorded tekkerz on ‘狼の庭（Ōkami no niwa）Trap for Catching Wolf’ and ‘カヌーで火を焚く (Kanu de hi wo taku）Build a Fire in a Canoe’ that lend a real waking dream quality to its spongiform dub bass and floating harmonies, while pulling from folk melody in the breezy sashay of ‘CHINA珊都異知（Chaina-sandoicchi）China Sandwich’ and hitting a proper sweetspot with the quiet lilt and air-step swing of centrepiece ‘晩夏 (Banka）Late Summer.’
