Spellbinding for its scope, originality and immediacy, the music Kaoru Ishibashi makes as Kishi Bashi is remarkable in many ways. After studying film scoring at Berklee College and performing as a violinist for Regina Spektor and of Montreal, the Seattle-born singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer made his debut as Kishi Bashi with 2012’s 151A, a vivid introduction to his blend of chamber pop, indie folk, neo-psychedelia and electronic soundscapes. With later songs like “Marigolds” from 2019’s Omoiyari, Ishibashi expanded his ambitions without sacrificing his music’s ability to move, surprise and delight.
