The new single ‘Autumn Colours’ follows Hiro Ama's debut EP Uncertainty, and was written during a rare break after eight years, three albums and numerous globe-trotting tours, during which Hiro played drums in the band Teleman. Opening 'Autumn Colours', the drums bounce with the aid of a constant kick-drum to create a drum style that you might find on a jazz-house record such as St Germain's Tourist. Electric piano plays a spacious and pensive combination of chords that evoke a sense of wonder, as well as reminiscence. ‘Autumn Colours’ references Hiro’s Japanese homeland - expressing the thoughts, memories and emotions that flooded his mind during a period of isolation. “Autumn makes me feel nostalgic and melancholic somehow and I like those feelings.” Hiro says, “I find a bit of sadness or darkness makes music or anything more beautiful, maybe it’s because it’s imperfect or fragile. I was imagining myself walking in the woods during Autumn and watching those colourful leaves falling off the trees.” 'Autumn Colours' is out now on Prah Recordings. Listen here! -Ellie Rose-Davies
