Our Take

Haruomi Hosono's "Hosono House" is a delightful mishmash of genres that is as charming as it is confusing. Known for his experimental approach to music, Hosono does not disappoint on this album, throwing together elements of folk, rock, and electronic music with reckless abandon.

The opening track, "Rock-A-Bye My Baby," sets the tone for the album with its quirky lyrics and catchy melody. Hosono's voice is an acquired taste, but there's a certain charm to his off-kilter delivery that grows on you with each listen.

Tracks like "Bara to Yajuu" and "Fuku no Onna" showcase Hosono's versatility as a musician, blending traditional Japanese instruments with modern production techniques to create a sound that is truly unique. It's a testament to his talent that he can seamlessly incorporate such diverse influences into his music without it feeling forced or contrived.

Overall, "Hosono House" is a fascinating listen that will undoubtedly appeal to fans of avant-garde music. Hosono's willingness to push boundaries and defy expectations is what makes this album so special, and it is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. So, grab a cup of green tea, sit back, and prepare to be taken on a musical journey like no other. Haruomi Hosono's "Hosono House" is a true gem in his extensive discography, and one that deserves to be heard by music lovers everywhere.
