Morimoto Naoki - Hibi (Seil Records)
hibi is an album about the beauty of everyday and the little moments that make us human. Honest, full of warmth and always surprising.
By arranging sounds from his daily life and surroundings, morimoto naoki creates minimalist compositions with the most gentle soundscapes.
I was unfamiliar with Morimoto Naoki before but I’ve been enamored with this album and his back catalog since first listen. hibi was released earlier this month on Seil Records out of Germany. I discovered the label from their wonderful Friends compilation which included cuts from Emily A. Sprague, Lightbath, Amulets, R Beny & more. Since then the label has become one of my favorites over the last year with every release being high quality, Sofie Birch and Jogging House being personal favorites. More on the new age side of ambient, Morimoto Naoki’s hibi is the perfect soundtrack for a peaceful day indoors while the outside world crumbles.
