Be sure to check it out if you are in the 3LA ambient section and the elaborate physicality-loving section.
This album by TSOIWAIJENJEN (許采蔚) will be released in 2023 on FINDME RECORDS, a Hong Kong cassette label that also releases original cassette players. The album has almost no verbal or textual information, and I am not sure if it is possible to make it without such context over there? I'm not sure, but it's a mix of lo-fi ambient and indie-pop with a damp texture, and it has an Asian feel. It may have a similar feel to the Singaporean Kitchen Label releases, or it may have a lo-fi feel that is not commercially scaled like US/UK releases. Contemporary Asian music spun in English and Chinese.
The specifications are so boxy that it looks like a BOSS effect pedal. The cassette case has been further processed, and the attention to detail can be felt.
