Released on Tristan Arp and Simisea’s ambient-leaning New York-based label Human Pitch, the record is five tracks of blissfully soothing music all themed around two of the wu xing (five elements). As the official introduction puts it, “Influenced by the breath of rivers and the weight of tropical air, each piece drifts like reflections on moving water—dissolving, refracting, and returning.” Remixes by Mong Tong, Guohan, and Wu Zhuoling, exclusive to the record’s CD edition, round out the collection for a full-length physical release.\n\nhttps://colaren.bandcamp.com/album/mekong-ballad","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
