It’s Ok — Kishi Bashi’s New Album Has a Release Date [stream]

Kishi Bashi – Philosophize in It! Chemicalize With It! SoundCloud

Kishi Bashi is basically our spirit animal here at The Wild Honey Pie. We love all his big, upbeat music so much that we painstakingly follow his every move, hoping that one of these days we’ll have some wonderful news like this to give you: Kishi Bashi will be releasing his sophomore album, Lighght, on Joyful Noise Records on May 13th! It’s perfect timing for the reckless, flower-frolicking kind of music that Kishi Bashi traffics in — the kind of music that simply sounds like spring. The news is enough to make this awful, grayness all but disappear. In order to celebrate, listen to the first single off the record, “Philosophize in It! Chemicalize With It!” Sure, it’s  been around a while, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t listen to it again. And again. And again.
