Ecdysis

"The solo debut from Hatori, one half of beloved J-pop extroverts Cibo Matto, finds the right balance between bright eccentricity and actual pop songs".

"Considering that Miho Hatori named her solo album Ecdysis after the molting process arthropods must undergo to grow and survive, it's not surprising that this set of songs feels like the cumulation of all of her previous work but on her own terms ... At times, the album's subtly exotic atmosphere - which sounds particularly striking on "Sweet Samsara, Pt. 1" and "Amazona" - is more compelling than any particular track. But, even if Ecdysis isn't as immediate as some of Hatori's other work, it reveals more layers with each listen".
