Ann Ihsa (アン・イーサ) / Ann Ihsa Solo (緑の人)

Even if you are predisposed to this strain of very reserved and fragile Japanese song (think quieter Tenniscoats, Reiko Kudo, Jon the Dog), you might still need to pick the right moment of the day for this. With minimal means, slow and deliberate forward song motion, and a narrow range of expression, Ann Ihsa will still draw harder hearts than mine close and whisper unto them delicate nothings of feathered keys and guitar, roughly glued patches of field recordings, timid drum presets and a winning whole of light-headed, pearly tumesence.
