Nitsua's new album "Soul of the Sky", his first in about 5 years, will finally be released on October 30th!

Nitsua is based in California. His debut album "Dayscape" was released in 2015 when he was still in his early 20s, and many listeners were surprised by his talent.

He originally planned to release his work through Hydeout Productions, run by Nujabes, but Nujabes passed away suddenly before he could achieve his goal. After that, he continued to work with Koizumi Takumi, who managed Nujabes and Hydeout Productions. He also contributed songs under the name Zack Austin to the memorial album for Nujabes, "Modal Soul Classics 2 Dedicated to Nujabes", and finally released his debut album "Dayscape" through Koizumi Takumi's label, Rockwell Product Shop, in 2015. The album mainly featured songs he had been making since he was 18 years old, and many listeners were surprised by his talent. He also released "Epoch," a collaboration with Marcus D, and an album of unreleased songs, and released his long-awaited second album "Safety In the Sun" in 2019, and his third album "Safety In the Moon" at the end of the same year. Nitusa's dreamy and gentle worldview has been supported by many listeners since his debut, and he continues to create works that are loved even now, nearly 10 years later.

Nitusa is finally releasing his latest album for the first time in five years.
The opening song of the album, "breeze," has a relaxed yet powerful beat and a floating melody that gently invites you to take the very first step into his new world. The second song, "psiothurism," is a sparkling world that warmly envelops you, as if you were imagining sunlight floating comfortably and leisurely. The flute played by Nitusa himself is also wonderful and comfortable. Going deeper, you will feel the comfort of each of the individual tracks in the unified worldview of the previous singles "slow light on a feather" and "shadow of a tree".

The eighth track "safe ground" was produced as a homage to "luz" by haruka nakamura, one of his favorite artists, and features Linn Mori. The ninth track is a beatless ambient piece featuring sonsofu, an electronica artist who also releases from his own label visioneternal. In the eleventh track "cliffside bench", Nitsua plays the flute extensively, expressing a slightly different worldview, and the last track "stargazing" is a beautiful scene that can be said to be the deepest part of the fantastical and gentle world that Nitsua has painted. I think you will listen to the album as if you are a floating soul in the colorful and fantastical world that Nitsua has imagined, traveling deeper and deeper into a comfortable depth.

The jacket was designed by Saori Yamada, who has also expressed the same fantastical world in her previous albums and singles.
The label is rockwell product shop, which also released "dayscape."
I hope everyone can experience the fantastical and comfortable world that can be said to be the culmination of nitsua's work.
