Aoba’s seventh studio album, Windswept Adan, was originally released in 2020. Early vinyl pressings are now highly sought-after on the secondary market. A considerable departure from her earlier, more solitary work, Aoba collaborated with composer Taro Umebayashi to create a fascinating and imaginatively rich concept album that fluidly oscillates between ambient psychedelic folk, classical chamber music, and jazz-tinged compositions.
