Xtra Happy
Hearing Tape's ethereal soundscapes layered behind Tenniscoats' soothing folk with Saya's vocals makes for some of my favourite laid-back listening.
From the slow dreamy ballads like 'Oetsu to Kanki no Nanoriuta' / 'One Swan Swim', to the joyous pop of 'Umbarepa!' / 'Baibaba Bimba', and finally the immense drama that is 'Rolling Train', there's just so much talent on display, and thought and care put into each of these songs.
I really can't sing these acts' collaboration albums enough praise.
Favorite track: ワン・スワン・スイム / One Swan Swim (2022 Remaster).
