Ethereal, haunting, full of whimsy and wonder. More ambient than Roomic Cube (which is also great), but much richer. According to her bio on Spotify, Takako Minekawa got married in 2000 (and took a long break from making music), met Dustin Wong in 2011, got divorced in 2012, then released this album with Wong in 2013. And it's sublime. And the interesting thing is that it's so... calm? assured? It sounds like music made by two people at peace. I don't think either of their bios even says that Minekawa and Wong dated, though they've been working together ever since. Clearly there's [something](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSnH7RkhjOU) there.
