Asleep to the World

Tashi Wada with Julia Holter

00:00

Coming soon

For years, Wada has performed with his father Yoshi Wada — artist, composer, and early member of the Fluxus movement. Rarely appearing together in studio settings, in 2018 they were finally brought together on Tashi Wada's most recent album Nue (RVNG Intl), along with an eclectic group of close friends and extended family.

The album drew on aspects of Tashi’s musical background for his widest vision to date, and intertwined many people and ideas in his life, as a means of growing, of looking inward to move outward, and of looking back to move forward. Among this constellation is core collaborator Julia Holter, best known for graceful, baroque pop records that, during the past decade, have made her one of the most distinctive voices in independent music. Ecstatic drones, unconventional tunings, and a spirit of infinity remain alive in Wada and Holter’s concerts.
