The 6-piece instrumental band egoistic 4 leaves is back with their second album after almost 8 years. Drawing on experiences from other projects, including collaborations with Taiji Sato (Theatrebrook), the dresscodes, and Kaho Nakamura BAND, they return with even more strength and sophistication.

This album blends the spirituality of jazz, the functionality of electronic music, and the experimental nature of beat music with a powerful and bold eclecticism. It’s a free-spirited and airy work that resonates with the Nu Jazz scene since Robert Glasper.

All the tracks were produced, recorded, and post-produced by MASAHIRO KITAGAWA, a member of Kaho Nakamura BAND, who is also known as a beat maker. He also lends their silky voice to some songs, acting as the band's unofficial seventh member.

The mastering was handled by Hiroshi Shiota, the head of Tokyo Recording Co., Ltd., who has worked on many landmark Japanese hip-hop albums by artists such as KING GIDDRA, RAPPAGARIYA, MSC, Gaki Ranger, ISSUGI, JJJ, and Namedaruma. The result is a high-quality sound that maintains the band's analog dynamism while fitting perfectly into the modern era.
