Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Your Song Is Good's guitarist "Maurice" Masatomo Yoshizawa (Instagram) has just released a first solo album, teaming up with XTAL ((((sssurrounddd))), Jintana & Emeralds). A soundtrack of instrumental guitar, the "Guitar Esquisse" title comes from a series of Instagram posts (#guitaresquisse) that Maurice started in May 2020, combining solo guitar and illustrations. The two then came up with the keyword "dub" and reworked ten of the pieces in that direction, which resulted in this album.

It's available digitally (, Spotify, YouTube Music, OTOTOY), on CD, and also on cassette tape.
