Morning in the Indigo Workshop · Japan Lofi · 2 Hour Chill

A calm, pearly-grey autumn morning in a little old indigo-dye workshop in Tokushima.

Instrumental only — a bright easy bounce on a soft cross-stick groove, warm Wurlitzer chords, kalimba sparkles, a round muted bass and soft shinobue bamboo-flute phrases, tape warmth and vinyl crackle.
