Rikki

Ginger Root

A love letter to 1980s Japanese City Pop filtered through bedroom soul. Warm synths, snappy basslines, and a charmingly lo-fi, variety-show aesthetic.

It sounds like a funky 80s Japanese sitcom theme that actually has something to say.

A charmingly nostalgic blend of urban loneliness and playful, funky optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the bassline on Karaoke locks into the drum machine with clockwork precision.
The sudden shift into a lush, synth-heavy bridge during the title track Rikki.
The dry, intimate vocal delivery on Why Try that feels like a secret whispered over a telephone.
