Kishi Bashi

Kantos

Kishi Bashi's album 'Kantos' is a vibrant yet unsettling exploration of humanity's possible end, blending Brazilian jazz, '70s funk, orchestral rock, and city pop. Departing from the symphonic folk of his 2019 album 'Omoiyari,' this fifth studio album draws inspiration from diverse sources, including the sci-fi 'Hyperion Cantos' series, philosopher Immanuel Kant, and ancient Crete. Initially aiming to revisit his eclectic roots, Ishibashi's encounter with an AI-driven songwriting tool sparked an existential inquiry central to 'Kantos.' Despite its themes of AI and transhumanism, the album celebrates human qualities like desire, empathy, and creativity, emphasizing that human-created art remains unmatched.
