Inspired by a trip to Türkiye, Mirage studies the relationships between architecture and sound. “Sad Ocean” opens the album with bright tones spun through cavernous reverb, while “Bus Terminal in Konya” weaves rustling field recordings into reverberant guitars and “Distant Steam Train Whistle” does something similar with faraway voices and acoustic six-string. The bittersweet chords of “In the Quiet River” bring it all to a particularly cinematic close—a fitting finale for the Japanese artist's meditation on music and memory.
