Building a cult following as part of a new wave of Japanese producers, Lycoriscoris had returned to Anjunadeep with his new album Chiyu which serves as a music journey combining dreamy soundscapes with modern electronica.
Composed throughout 2020, Chiyu documents Senoo’s journey of reflection and recovery.
“Memories and retrospection are the fundamental concepts that inspire my music. For instance, my own artist name plays on the name of the Lycoris flower. In Japan, it’s often found near cemeteries, which is of course a dark connotation – however, one day when searching in the Language of Flowers (Floriography) I discovered that the word Lycoris also means “I’m looking forward to seeing you again. I realized how this dark flower also hides a beautiful and positive message. I think my music, and my new album ‘Chiyu’, has the same kind of dualism as the Lycoris flower.”
