Hinako Omori has unveiled a new single called ‘foundation’. The track follows last month’s ‘in full bloom’ and comes alongside the announcement of a headline show at London’s ICA on December 2. Listen to it below.
“‘foundation’ is a letter to ourselves on trusting our intuition and inner guidance to lead us along our unique paths,” Omori explained in a statement. “The object on the cover artwork (cyanotype printed and designed by Emi Takahashi) is a trick lock which I found at a Japanese antique store – it’s an old padlock for a kura, which is a traditional storehouse where you would keep your most valuable possessions. I thought it could be a fitting metaphor for the song, where the ‘kura’ represents our mind – and how the only things that block us from working through our stuck points are the tricks and barriers we place on ourselves, and our own inhibitions.”
Omori’s debut album, a journey…, came out last year.
