Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kaoru Dill-Ishibashi (stage name Kishi Bashi) is known for his eclectic blend of indie pop, folk and classical music. Dill-Ishibashi’s musical career includes founding New York electronic rock outfit Jupiter One and a stint as a member of local legend of Montreal before starting his solo career as Kishi Bashi in 2011. His latest record is a departure from his usual symphonic folk, however. Kantos is about the possible end of humanity, yet it is both unsettling and joyful in its delivery. Music journalist Amelia Neri writes for Narc Magazine, “The party album encompasses everything from Brazilian jazz and ‘70s funk, to epic orchestral rock and nostalgic Japanese city-pop…While outwardly zealous and shimmery, ruminations surrounding humanity’s troubled fate haunt its core.”
