Today’s cassette is Furusato (2024) by Chris Peters.

The J-card screams “forgotten underground Japanese import”—but that’s misdirection. What’s inside is ambient stitched with musique concrète and a faint vaporwave pulse. Released just last year.

Only two tracks here, but they sprawl across 36 minutes. Less like songs, more like an extended sound-tour. Surprisingly listenable, especially if you let it wash over you.

A hand holding a clear plastic cassette case with a cover insert. The artwork features a stylized, high-contrast portrait of a woman’s face and hair, tinted in pink against a black background. At the top of the cover, Japanese katakana text reads “クリス ピータース” (Chris Peters) with “ふるさと” (Furusato, meaning “hometown”) written below in smaller hiragana. The design has an abstract, almost silkscreen effect with dark shading and duplicated lines.

@atomicpoet @recordpics @phaedral I love how that case is already cracked. Screams authenticity. Did it come that way?
