For many readers, the name Kishi Bashi is not new. Kaoru Ishibashi has been making music under that moniker for a few years, releasing his debut LP, 151a, in 2012. But prior to that, people probably knew him as a member of of Montreal, or even from his days with Jupiter One, a group he co-founded in 2003. This may be familiar to you, but to me, this is all new. To think I’ve been living without the joyous music of Kishi Bashi all these years. His newest solo recording was just released this past Friday, Sonderlust, with a title as chock full of imaginative detail as the album itself.
