Deep under the shimmering surface of Dream Waves

Hiraeth Records presents from tokyo to honolulu’s “Dream Waves” – glimmering synth riffs that stretch all the way toward the horizon.

Having progressed from a solely sample-based style, Dream Waves represents the artist at their creative pinnacle. From tokyo to honolulu glides through a number of styles over the 8-track runtime. Morning Dawn is a shimmering, chilled-out opener, fit with hypnotic melodies and floating synths. Transient Life treats the listener to deep and dulcet slushwave.

In many ways, Dream Waves could be considered an experimental album by the artist, showcasing a mastery over a number of styles, but actively seeking to push boundaries in each one. Experience one of from tokyo to tonolulu’s most daring albums to date. Wade through sparkling melodies and hypnagogic swirling drums. Surrender your sense of self, as the artist patiently leads the way, never more than a few feet ahead, not seeking to lose you, but to gently guide you through this beautiful world.

Take a divergent route as the CD version gifts a selection of bonus tracks to conclude the album. Here, from tokyo to honolulu’s tracks are interpreted a little differently; a dreamy euphoric rework, a heady signalwave addition, and a more classically ambient track.
