NEW RELEASE INFORMATION
On March 20th, we'll release Yuki Murata's new solo album '24 Piano Sketches' on a number-limited 15cm square-sized box version. Yuki Murata is a Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films.
As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. Starting with having released the first track of the album, 'siesta' as a single on April 1st, 2024, this long project has added 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.
This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.
The number-limited 15cm square-sized box version includes a copy of CD, a card with the album credits, and 12 cards which print 24 Polaroid photos which Takahiro Kido from Anoice took.
You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.

Ricco Label: NEW RELEASE INFORMATION
The instrumental rock orchestra filled with euphoric and dashing sounds, again.
The first album, 'Planet Shhh!', which amazed the music fans throughout the world with their the vivid sound and of which the first pressing sold out in just 10 days. The second album, 'Home', which came highly acclaimed by well-known music media outlets such as The Guardian, The Skinny, and Prog Magazine. The third album, 'Power Pose', which captivated the audience on the West Holts Stage with renowned artists such as Underworld, James Blake, and Earth, Wind and Fire at Glastonbury Festival.
Now, the 12 piece cinematic instrumental rock orchestra produced by Scotland-based multi-instrumentalist, Paul Russell, return with ‘Thank You', their first album in five years, to bring in a new year.
The grand orchestration, the strings section like violin and cello; the brass instruments such as trumpet and french horn; the rhythm formed by mighty, groovy drums and melodious tuned percussion such as marimba and vibraphone; the lovely melodies composed by Paul Russell who often creates music for films and commercial advertises and the addition of the exisotic sounds from steelpan and hammered darsimer which are new instruments for them, made the world of Human Pyramids, already filled with euphoric sounds, the the more emotional and fantastical.
This album was mixed by Paul Russell and then masted by a Grammy award winning engineer, Alan Douches, who workd on some works from prestigious artists such as The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Animal Collective, and Ben Folds Five at West West Side Music in New York. Additional production was completed at Chem 19 in Human Pyramids' home town, Glasgow, where MOGWAI, Arab Strap, and Aereogramme had also worked in the past. It is not too much to say that the talents who are very active at the forefront of music created this album, and its spellbinding sounds are worth hearing.
This is a masterpiece of 2025 which marks the new era of instrumental rock music, that we especially recommend to fans of Jónsi (Sigur Rós), Arcade Fire, José González, The Flaming Lips, and The Cinematic Orchestra, with confidence.
