Could We Be More

a bit TOO easy on the ears

Ahhh. Its refreshing to hear music that takes inspiration so obviously and unabashedly from something that's NOT from the 80's. Kokoroko might not being doing anything particularly innovative with the genre, but their particular approach to that jazzy 70's brand of Afrobeat is really enjoyable. The mood can be pretty one note, but at the same time, it's atmosphere is one of the album's greatest strengths. It leaves a lot to the imagination, it leaves a lot of space to space out with.

Amazing same jd beck domi. New jazz music sounds
Good. “I’m like new cars. Uk Fresh sounds beautiful.
New album song soundtrack jams. Old school jamz.
Favorite song. blue robe (pt.i) Age Of Ascent

Es imposible no disfrutar de algo así. EL EP de KOKOROKO y donde se hicieron conocidos (por Abusey Junction) me pareció hermoso y cuando vi esto sentí que tenía que tirarme de cabeza para ver que me ofrecían.
Bien producido y además muy bien armado porque te deja respirar y después mete temas donde el trance fluye.

This album is the Weather Channel Local on the 8's jazz on steroids, in the absolute best way possible.

The music is good but the album cover is my favorite part of it

Kokoroko released an album of smooth jazz sounds, and velvety texturized beats, sadly it appears to be less ambitious than their fellow counterparts, you can still enjoy the tranquility they create.

Could We Be More is all it needs to be lush, tight, towering and transcendent
