Ichiko Aoba Announces New LP & 2025 Tour, Shares "Luciférine"
Ichiko Aoba, the Japanese singer-songwriter, has announced her first studio album in five years, as well as an accompanying world tour in 2025.
The new LP, titled "Solaris," is set for release on March 15, 2023, via her own label, ATAK. The album features 12 tracks, including the previously released singles "Luciférine" and "Solaris."
Aoba wrote all of the songs on the album, which she describes as "a journey through space and time." The album's title track is an instrumental piece that she says is inspired by the novel of the same name by Stanisław Lem.

Aoba is known for her ethereal and atmospheric music, which has been described as "a blend of folk, jazz, and electronica." She has released six studio albums to date, as well as a number of singles and EPs.
