Kishi Bashi – a sunday smile

Sometimes the fact that Soundcloud has decided to start auto-playing other artists after you listen to a single song is frustrating, especially as they can be totally, hilariously irrelevant. Recently however, it threw up this gem. A Beirut cover, though I hadn’t heard the original before, that has taken on a kind of Sufjan-like sound, acoustic-focused, though spun into something grander. It’s by kishi bashi and i don’t know anything else about him. For once, I might keep it that way, a singular piece of riveting music.
