Eiko Ishibashi - Antigone

Eiko Ishibashi 
Antigone
Drag City
Japan/USA, 2025
LP

Stunner! After a few years of brilliant, brooding instrumental flights, including soundtracks for Drive My Car & Evil Does Not Exist, Ishibashi returns to her roots with an album of sophisticated, jazz-inflected dream pop. Antigone comes off like the favored child of Chicago post-rock, Steely Dan, and Faye Wong’s starry-eyed, cosmopolitan interpretations of the Cocteau Twins. Deep & wide.
