Based in Nobeoka, Miyazaki-a rising creative hub in Japan-Beatmaker and Producer Tobba Ranks unveils his conceptual full-length album, "to like Water".
This 10-track project is a deep sonic exploration of the water cycle. Transitioning seamlessly from ambient mists to deep-sea pressure and the endless horizon, Tobba Ranks crafts an immersive soundscape rooted in Trip Hop, Downtempo, and Organic Electronic music. The album highlights include the deep, neo-soul infused lead track "indigo" featuring vocalist COCOLO, and the sharp, glitch-driven "glass" featuring imai mira.
"to like Water" is more than an instrumental beat tape; it is a meticulously designed auditory experience that draws the listener into beautiful, chilling silence.
