Tokyo's Coolest Sound

A brand new album by Lullatone has just been released! On their Bandcamp you can find it as a zine with CD (or with just a download code) or as a cassette edition. The zine has 32 pages and was hand-printed in the band's home town, Nagoya. It can also be found on download/streaming platforms.

The album's songs had been released digitally one per month over 12 months, to result into this full-length.

Official blurb:
"Shapes & Time" is an introspective new album by Lullatone. Imagine music for reading books, watering houseplants or just spending some time from the Nagoya-based band. The CD also comes with a 32 page zine with essays about their recording adventures (underwater microphones, sand placed over speaker cones, etc), guitar tabs, sheet music, illustrations and more. Lovingly recorded on various tape machines, this is Lullatone's warmest record yet. Where Lullatone's last album "Music for Museum Gift Shops" focused on piano, this new album is mainly based on peaceful guitar tones. The calming acoustic sound of the recordings feels like warming up with a coffee or tea on a cold morning. Though not quite classical, these sweater weather instrumentals blend into the background to make ordinary everyday life feel like a scene from a small film - whether you're trying to focus and study or taking an afternoon catnap on a rainy day, the acoustic melodies can fade into the background.

Lullatone also released last year the single "Late Nights and Mosquito Bites".

Lullatone "Shapes & Time"

1. a tape of a tape of a tape of a time
2. kotatsu naps
3. corduroy
4. shapes in time
5. like grains of sand in your hand
6. make-believe birdsong
7. rainy season again
8. every movie needs a sad scene
9. like pebbles in a stream
10. late summer storms
11. just spending time
12. like breath
