[Description]
Introducing the milestone first album from the "Park Heights Orchestra," led by the Nakayama siblings, Uzuki Nakayama (from Coffee Color) and Uri Nakayama, both raised in public housing estates.
This album vividly delivers the stories of various public housing estates, real and modest, through the versatile and luxurious sounds of the orchestra. It will surely bring to mind your own nostalgic scenes.
Experience the unfolding tale of a certain public housing estate through the music—unpretentious yet enchanting.
Music that may or may not serve people's needs—it's a luxurious indulgence.
The Nakayama siblings, raised in a public housing estate named "Park Heights," have beautifully illustrated their childhood experiences of estate life through the music of this orchestra. Because We live in this convenient era where sounds can be easily created with a laptop, The album aims for the luxurious essence of live orchestral sound. You could feel some influence from Cuba, Brazil, France, or Ryoichi Hattori. Our style of music might exude a vibe from about 60 years ago or perhaps one similar to Shibuya-kei.
