Unlearn The World Following the release of their 1st album "ALTERNATIVE" in 2014, this new 4th album is a culmination of everything they've absorbed through collaborations with many artists, songwriting, live performances in various locations, and the release of two concept albums mainly consisting of instrumental tracks from a domestic label. This album features songs that capture the changing seasons, everyday scenes, inner landscapes, and imaginative pieces, resulting in a work that more strongly reflects the artist's inherently lyrical worldview. Guest appearances include, following on from the previous album, female MC Pumpkin from France, Kensho Kuma (a close friend active in both Japan and the US) from the US West Coast, Unlearn The World, and many other unique artists active in the Bay Area. The artwork, visually representing this sonic world, features original drawings by painter Michiru Yano and overall design by SOL from Okinawa. About the Artist: A trackmaker based in Tokyo.
