Samantha CulpFirst to rec
“If you're looking for that alert-yet-calming softly glitchy Japanese ambient CD electronica from the early 2000s, you have come to the right place. This slightly mysterious 2005 release has become a key working soundtrack for me, and I can't describe it much better than the creator does.
"I take my dog for a walk every evening,
and on our usual route there is a beautiful stream filled with fallen leaves.
When I hear the sound of the water trickling, I always think of pola.
I feel like the sound of pola is very watery.
It's music that blends into the water. It's like being a fish swimming in the ocean.
It feels like that. So I think pola's music is a masterpiece for salmon, mullet, and other fish. Since we are humans, it feels good to listen to it in the bath"
