After making a strong comeback with the release of the single "Until Then" on Seb Wildblood's all my thoughts label, and his first full-length album in 15 years, Everis, aus now unveils a brand-new album. Originally composed as demos for a film project, these tracks have been reimagined into a chamber music work, centered around aus’s piano and the violin of Takahara Kumi. The intricate interplay of the piano and violin merges with subtle textures of early 2000s electronics, creating a lush and vivid melodic landscape.
In contrast to the sound collage approach of Everis, which heavily incorporated field recordings, this new album takes a more defined compositional path. Like a reflection on a still pond, the music is gentle yet leaves a lasting impression, evoking the emotional resonance of Studio Ghibli soundtracks. At the same time, it recalls the essence of Japan’s "image albums" — a genre of music popular in the 1980s, often created to evoke a particular mood or atmosphere rather than to serve as a direct soundtrack for a film.
The album features contributions from Julianna Barwick, Meg Baird, Henning Schmiedt, Danny Norbury, Glim, Eunice Chung (ex-Cicada), Arisa Yokote, Kumi Takahara continuing their seamless integration into aus’s sonic world.

solo project of Yasuhiko Fukuzono, the owner of a record label FLAU.
