Bleep

Hinako Omori’s vibrant synth palettes hold space for healing and contemplation, bathing the listener in sound on her debut album a journey... With a swift followup on stillness, softness..., she turns her sights inward, creating sonic spaces of her own internal landscape through diaristic, poetic lyrics and washes of ambience. ‘both directions ?’ opens with whimsical yet bittersweet layers of harmony, shifting into a continuous mix of emphatic compositions and vocal streams of consciousness. Glittering synths sweeping across ‘ember’, stuttering into ‘cyanotype memories’ where the pacing stretches and contorts, percussion crushes and sparks, and Omori combines analogue synths with emotive pop delivery.
