Cornelius – Mellow Waves
Released July 21st, 2017
Japanese soundscaper Keigo “Cornelius” Oyamada has been relatively quiet since his kaleidoscopic Point album in 2001, except for the Japan-only Sensuous, he’s restricted himself largely to collaborative work with similarly inclined outfits like Plastic Ono Band and Penguin Cafe. Not surprisingly, Mellow Waves, his first North American release in well over a decade, is a supremely chill affair. But despite a few nice moments, it’s also a fairly forgettable one.
