“Sunday is a big music day for me cause I can take her slow and listen to records for a few hours in the morning while I cook for my family and whatnot. This is a sequence of songs that I love, and that maybe captures a bit of the mood of the most recent record I made. The recordings of Gabor Szabo, Italian composers like Riz Ortolani for horror and western films, and ‘Switched On’ versions of pop and country songs from the 70’s were a big influence on the sound of my recordings. I’ve included 3 songs from ‘Meadow System’ for good measure.” -JP Haynie for @HerbSundays

At 78, Haruomi Hosono returns with his first new album in seven years—a swan song, perhaps, to one of music's most quietly influential careers. airmail.news/sh/a5hyMk

I wrote a little love letter about Haruomi Hosono's 23rd solo record. The old legend is still bursting with great ideas as he creeps up on octogenarian status. Thanks for all the music. Sincerely, 💌 pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
