Little Songs About Raindrops

Since Lullatone's debut on Audio Dregs, his sound has grown into a lusher sort of melodic minimalism. The clean aesthetic is still here, though hardly "minimal" by today's electronic standards. Lullatone's compositions are characterized by a subtle nature, comparable to the works of Steve Reich and Erik Satie, which is to say, they're minimal, but very human. "Little Songs About Raindrops" continues in the vein of his previous two releases, with its gentle, cloud-like nature. However, for this album, Lullatone has moved away from the sine tone and instead uses a tiny orchestra of toy instruments to reproduce the pitter-patter of raindrops. The album also features guest appearances from Keiichi Sugimoto (Fonica / Minamo), Yoshimi Tomida, Yusuke Asano (Asana), and others.
