“We wanted to create something beautiful, lighter than air, that will help you unwind. Etherea EP is dedicated to the calming abilities of nature, to the effortless way clouds move in the sky.”
Kazuki Isogai & Sara Wakui
THE RELEASE
Following his successful collab album with edbl, Kazuki Isogai is back with another release with Stereofox Records.
This new gorgeous project, called Etherea EP, is with emerging Japanese talent – producer & keyboardist Sara Wakui. 5 songs, inspired by all things natural & the effortless flow of everything around us. The embodiment of elegance and airiness.
The 1st single “Basking in the Sun” represents the lightness that nature brings us – through warm keys, shimmering guitars, and utterly chilled beats. “Etherea”, which gave the title to the EP, features Sara’s signature mesmerizing jazz keys and “Skyward” will uplift you with Kazuki’s guitar licks and Wakui’s heartfelt piano compositions. The opening and closing tracks are absolute gems, too – with one of the most beautiful saxophone melodies ever in “Lighter Than Air” and the outworldly guitar & key chemistry that will make you smile in “Timelessness”.
