Alone; a vibrant desire, a glimmer so high…

The art of floral arrangement known as Ikebana inevitably comes up here when highlighting a project that shares its name, and its principles—”minimalism, beauty in space, calmness…”. The parallels are immediate; “Kiss” enchants with restraint, its chords plucked almost as selectively as its words. The message is sincere, and as focused as its title. The pacing is unforced, its end result reaching somewhere uniquely sublime.

The song appears on the Japanese female duo’s LP when you arrive there, due out July 8th via Flau.
