Akari is the third album from Tokyo duo Illuha. Following 2011′s debut Shizuku
(12k1067) and 2013′s Interstices (12k2028), Akari takes the next artistic step
for the band. While Shizuku was recorded in the US and completed separately by
the artists, Interstices captured the duo creating their exceptionally detailed
music together live during a Japaneses tour. Akari, in turn, is the first studio
album where Illuha recorded and mixed together, throughout the entire process.
The beautiful st-robo studio in Tokyo put a collection of amazing equipment at
their fingertips, from vintage mics and outboard gear to a vast collection of
instruments, both acoustic and electronic. Their writing sessions were numerous
and long with details meticulously obsessed over for nearly a year. The result
is the most bewildering music Illuha have created to date. An album swimming
with the most delicately tactile sounds and instrumentation that draws the
listener in with hushed, motionless attention.
While Illuha’s Corey Fuller and Tomoyoshi Date are often drawn to the most
sparse notes of Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, acoustic grand piano and
guitar, the breadth of instrumentation is partially what makes Akari so
abosrbing. They have succeeded in creating their own universe of sound, so
beautifully recorded, where each element not only has its own space but connects
and interacts so fluidly with the other sounds. It is as if they are placed
perfectly by nature, the compositions are fluid and organic, a far cry from
anything calculated or structured. It is this open space that the music exists
in which in turn defines the music itself. There is ample room to breathe within
this forest of gentle tines, bubbling analogue synthesizers, clicking percussion
and quiet field recordings. This is subtlety at its most refined; hushed without
being saccharine, distant without being morose.
Akari is the Japanese word for light. Conceputally the duo used this word as a
guide, as if they were searching through the dark, trying to keep the light
alive, as if one is cradling a candle doing everything in their power to keep it
alight in a storm. It is this almost visceral sense of sheltering, of
protection, that gives Akari a very human and personal sound whose intensely
deep focus is as impressive as it is arresting.
A 6-card postcard set will be made available alongside the CD release. It will
be given away free during the pre-order period and be purchasable after that.
The cards feature further paintings by Samuel Estlin Fuller, who painted the
cover for Akari.
