“We created this EP by imagining the flow of a day in the city. We wanted to make someone’s everyday moment a little richer with emotions, and with a feeling of gratitude for the everyday things we take for granted.”
Sachiho & Kanzas-City
THE RELEASE
Jan 15 - Crosswalk
Feb 12 - Homewards EP
The Japanese producer & keyboardist duo Sachiho & Kanzas-City return to Stereofox for another project.
Continuing the urban theme of their previous City Wildlife EP, this time they wanted to envision the urban jungle as a home. The 4-song Homewards EP aims to be the soundtrack of your activities throughout the day, with some uplifting/fresh tunes for the busy streets of Japan & slower ones for the calm evening when you’ve headed home.
All songs are united by the feeling of coziness and Sachiho & Kanzas-City’s signature blend of jazzy melodies & boom-bap beats. 3 of the songs also feature guitarists Tomoki Ihira & A.M.P. Killer and sax/flute player Kosei Nagata.
