Description
After 365 days of daily sent visits, beatmaker NICKELMAN unveils Nippon Onsen Kikoua bath-inspired album born from his hot & cold bath groove envisioned through clouds of steam.
Crafted exclusively from carefully selected Japanese groove samples, this is a blissful instrumental album overflowing with pure sent love.
Inspired by the Nishi-style hot & cold bathing method, which recommends alternating between warm and cold baths ten times, the album consists of ten tracks, each evoking the diversity of public bath culturesound textures rising like steam and shimmering like ripples on hot water.
The cover artwork features a unique collage by 55555, reminiscent of Japans nostalgic, character-filled sent scenes.
Created using inspiration from visits to local bathhouses and hot-spring facilities with OKB, the head of OKE MUSIC FACTORY, as well as hidden hot springs and natural wonders found on tour, this release delivers a supreme relaxation experiencea sound journey through the landscapes beyond the steam.
Overflowing energy and euphoria.
Enjoy the sparkling refreshment that washes away the days fatiguejust like stepping out of a perfectly balanced hot & cold bath. (via Artist, Bandcamp)
