Your Personal Soundtrack: Shugo Tokumaru - Parachute
Every once in a while I'll run across an album that is so great I just keep it on repeat. I want to absorb them and pick them apart. The best albums reveal layers the more you listen to them, and Shugo Tokumaru's album Exit has revealed itself to be a gorgeous musical tapestry. He's been likened to a Japanese Sufjan Stevens, which is fairly accurate. Both Shugo and Sufjan feature plucky banjos and twinkling bells in their captivating melodies, and certainly both of their names start with S. Shugo stands on his own, however, without having to compare him to other artists. Check out this video for the first track off of Exit, Parachute.
