I had to check out the Bandcamp page because I know I’ve written about Rhucle,
the project of Japan’s Yuta Kudo, before, and I wanted to refresh my memory. But
once I got there I was bombarded by release upon release as I scrolled down the
page, endlessly, until my scrolling thumb got so tired I had to stop. (Luckily I
found one, probably two, tapes that I wrote about. Whew!) The sheer volume of
output you’ll find there is staggering, and you might be overwhelmed enough to reconsider
determining a starting point. But don’t! What I’ve heard is all utterly
delightful, and you can just forget about everything and use this, Royal Blue on Oxtail Recordings, as your
starting point regardless. It’s really something you shouldn’t stress out
about.
The main reason why you shouldn’t stress out about it is because Rhucle’s
music is entirely stress free, Royal Blue
being no exception. Utilizing synthesizers and field recordings, Rhucle
gently and exquisitely opens up paths to inner peace that you may not have
realized were available to you. Best experienced in solitude, preferably within
a set of headphones that dwarfs your noggin, Royal Blue is an inner world of maximum rest and relaxation, a
rejuvenating sensory experience, an immersion in crystal pools among the
clouds. Perfect for meditative practices, Royal
Blue wisps and drips, shimmers and floats, all in soft focus, all centered
inward for true peace. So, you still feeling stressed about getting into
Rhucle? It’s like I told you – that’s a ridiculous observation, especially with
this beautiful new tape right in front of you.
