くるり - Nikki

Review by Jocelyn Aspa

Nikki by くるり is a unique and captivating album that showcases the band's versatility and creativity. The album consists of ten tracks, each one offering a different musical experience. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of "Siren" to the upbeat and catchy "Round and Round", Nikki is a diverse and engaging musical journey.

The album's standout track is undoubtedly "Koi no Uta," a playful and infectious song that is sure to get listeners dancing along. The band's use of traditional Japanese instruments, such as the koto and shakuhachi, adds a layer of depth and texture to the music, creating a truly immersive listening experience.
