专辑简介

"Kyowa's sound is immediately striking on "The Ends of the Earth", with her beautifully haunting vocals taking the clear lead over a quaint guitar arpeggio reminiscent of Radiohead's most haunting efforts ("Street Spirit" favorably comes to mind). The introduction of percussion around 01:40 signals the next section, where Kyowa's vocals pick up a bit in enjoyable form, similar to how Beach House's Victoria Legrand transitions from her keyboard-accompanied barrenness to Alex Scally's guitar trickles. I see a similar dynamic here, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Lyrics like "when you reach the end of the earth, will you still want me there?" are powerful and heavy-hitting, this bit in particular reminding me again of Radiohead and the repeating ghostly power of "How To Disappear Completely" specifically. These likenesses to names like Beach House and Radiohead, combined with clearly enjoyable idiosyncrasies, certainly make Kyowa a name to look out for. This is such a great sound and track -- keep up the great work! Look out for a post on Obscure Sound in the near future."
