Classically trained cellist Issei Herr - aka Mizu - released her debut album ‘Distant Intervals’ to much acclaim in 2023. Less than a year later she is set to follow it up with stunning new LP ‘Forest Scenes’.
The new record mixes classical instrumentation, looping, electronic music and spoken word samples, densely layered but with a light touch. Written as a sonic representation of self-discovery, the music does - as the title suggests - feel like wandering into a forest, discovering a world ever more magical the deeper you get.
‘Forest Scenes’ is set for release on 22 Mar. Out now is its first single ‘Pavane’, which couples a discordant synth line with euphoric strings that gradually build and expand.
