OK Ikumi - Outside

Review by Tres Adames

Outside by OK Ikumi is an album that takes the listener on a journey through a dreamy and atmospheric soundscape. The album is a collection of electronic tracks that are both experimental and accessible. The listener is immediately drawn in by the opening track, "Overgrowth," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track is a slow and hypnotic piece that combines ambient sounds with a pulsing beat.

The album continues with "Lapwing," a track that features a driving beat and ethereal vocals. The song is an excellent example of the album's ability to create a sense of atmosphere that is both uplifting and introspective. The album's title track, "Outside," is another standout. The track is a beautiful and haunting piece that showcases OK Ikumi's ability to create a sense of longing and nostalgia through his music.

Throughout the album, OK Ikumi experiments with different sounds and styles, creating a diverse and engaging listening experience. "At the Edge of the World" is a track that combines a driving beat with glitchy, distorted sounds, while "Avalanche" is a more subdued and introspective piece that features delicate piano and strings.
