about
'Milk Garden' is fifteen tracks of gorgeous, colorful guitar work brought to life by Cohn’s quiet whispers. It’s a truly visceral sound. This project has excelled at tiptoeing the lines of melancholy and serenity for years. The ends of that spectrum have stretched even further with 'Milk Garden.' “Be Nothing,” the album’s opener, is a rainy day full of contemplation, slow and steady, grey. The sentiment continues onto “Toothpaste Dreams” and the synth-laden “Warm Blood.”
However, this record is by no means a downer. Tracks like “Flower Song” and “Blue Paper” incorporate bronze strings and swaying tempos. They’re bright and green. It is at this point I would like to assure the reader that I did not consume hallucinogenic drugs while listening to this record despite the frequent references to colors, proceed.
As winter slowly slips into spring, “Wooden Boat” produces a sense of excitement and cautious joy at what is to come. The entirety of Milk Garden invokes a sense of blooming; a slow process that feels better and better as time goes on. The dynamics of the record come from fidelity. Songs skip from clear to murky every other track or so, which probably isn’t a subtle metaphor to the human brain, but it really feels like it. It all comes to an end with “Bird Songs,” a track that summarizes and concludes the previous fourteen moments very carefully. Milk Garden is so wonderfully full of life and feeling, arriving at the perfect time of year."

Super cute stuff. I only wish this were much longer. Somehow reminded me of ESNO (Kenichiro Nishihara) and something about the cover caught my attention so I had to look it up—the artist is たえ who also did the cover for ESNO's 'Release'.
