Satomimagae’s Taba arrives in the world today

At last, Satomimagae’s Taba arrives in the world today.

In Japanese, taba means “bunch, bundle, ream, a grouping of several separate things together.” Fittingly, Satomi has described her new album as a collection of short stories. Moving away from linear songwriting, taba takes form though circuitous echoes and suggestions of a whole, drawn from fleeting scenes of communal life.

Taba is an observation of existing in conversation with one’s own surroundings, and satomi explores a range of emotional avenues and sonic pathways in service of that pursuit. Now, the inward gaze extends beyond the confines of the self, generously reflecting the world and at large and all the spirits that live within it ₊˚.༄
