Michael Scott Dawson - Kitsune no yomeiri - Black Vinyl LP | Pre-Order 4.9.26

Kitsune No Yomeiri, which translates to the fox's wedding, is an endearing expression used to describe sunshowers. Dawson returned home from a recent tour of Japan with a collection of field recordings documenting the spring rain he encountered throughout his travels. These curious sounds, stretching from peaceful shrines to clattering city streets, underpin the material. Dawson also credits the wonderful folks he met on that tour with profoundly shaping the direction of the album. After each show he found himself immersed in inspiring conversations about the guitar. Through navigating the language barrier, he discovered he was communicating with an immense sincerity that he would ordinarily avoid at all costs. "I've always just made records at home in a vortex, but this time it felt like those conversations were there with me in the studio." Musically the album has a slight western slant. It's not country, but it does see Dawson lean softly into his prairie past. Constellations of stray notes and rusted tones form nostalgic melodies, like chance encounters between old friends. Dawson allows phrases and gestures to repeat across the record, resulting in a collection that's more akin to turning the pages of a novel than a series of vignettes vying for attention.
