reviews
A record filled with familial abstracts, so textured you can touch it. Maximalist but bare - and wholly considered - every gut-wrench is left in, smoothed out and stronger for it.
—9/10, Loud & Quiet
Her music felt like a balm for an injured world
—Rolling Stone
Deeply tranquil… A dreamy world indeed.
—Electronic Sound
The songs are immaculately crafted
—Clash Magazine
A gripping, deeply considered thematic exercise
—Vinyl Factory
“Hinako Omori finds herself amidst a darker, more driven soundscape on stillness, softness..., a natural progression from 2022's a journey...”
—4/5, The Skinny
“Straightforwardly, enchantingly gorgeous”[…]“one of the most cleansing experiences I've had from any album this year”
—Sputnik Music
“stillness, softness… meets the Jungian shadow self head on, treating the darker, occluded parts of the psyche as material for care rather than rejection”
—Control Club
