There’s no better way to immediately improve your mood than by throwing on a Kishi Bashi track — it’s a proven fact we’ve been testing for over a year. The only thing that can make your Kishi Bashi happiness even better is if that track happens to be brand-spanking new. Luckily, our favorite violin-toting, pop-music genius has released a brand new song! “Philosophize In It! Chemicalize With It!” is a track so wonderfully swirling and glittery it acts as pure aural joy. Seriously, there’s no way you’ll need any mood enhancers after listening to this song. Complete with the fantastically complicated layers that make every Kishi Bashi song a unique wonder to listen to, his new A-side will have you pressing repeat just to make the smile on your face a little wider. Check out the track above and make sure to see Kishi Bashi as he goes on tour this fall. Seriously, if you haven’t seen him play by now you’re just hurting yourself.
