Haruka Nakamura: Grace (Schole) On the ever so quaint Japanese imprint Schole and housed in a case with some beautiful images of sunflared landscapes, this set, like much of releases on this label, takes in the pastoral ease of long stretched out-days and lazy days of next to nothing to do but listen to softly lilting music. If only most of our lives were like that huh?! The music is minimal, serial in places, but mostly easy going charm constructed from strummed guitar, melancholic piano lines, outdoor field recordings of kids at play (always a winner for envoking childhood nostalgia), the merest hint of digital detritus and the breathy vocals that japanese twee-pop producers are fond of.
