Midori Hirano – Lush Rush

Midori Hirano - Hush Lush

I have been thoroughly chilling to this 2006 debut release from this talented lady from Japan.
A lovely mix of instrumental and minimal soft vocal tracks.
Very much Sigur Ros style.
This video is from her 2008 release which I haven’t managed to get hold of yet.

A new app that you download and play streaming music with. Possible iTunes killer? Maybe.
They are signing up labels at an alarming rate. I had to do three searches before it failed to find the artist I wanted. Impressive.
The free version throws in a few ads, but I haven’t found it too intrusive.
A great way to check out new/old stuff, and it has direct links to go and buy it.
Well worth checking out.
