This collaboration between composer Yokota and Too Pure band Rothko features vocalist Caroline Ross, and all three equally shine. Opening with the hip-hop beat of “Deep in Mist,” faraway pianos, elegant bass, and lazy vocals prep for the mutations ahead-“Water‘s Edge” invokes the pagan poetry of Dead Can Dance, while “Path Fades Into Forest” is a warm, acoustic guitar-based track. Beats reappear in “Clear Space,” where a harmonica is as affecting as Ross‘ voice. Susumu & Co. have built careers subverting preconceptions about sounds, and discovering new ways to put them together-their combined experience makes Summer golden.
