Kyoto-based Shoegaze/Dream-Pop project appi returns with ‘Red Comb’, a second album that drifts between hazy shoegaze and intimate dream pop, shaped by soft noise and quiet emotion.
Built on blurred guitars, airy synths, and near-whispered vocals, Red Comb doesn’t rely on heavy walls of sound; instead, it moves in subtle waves. Textures fade in and out, hooks linger rather than explode, and distortion arrives with careful restraint. The result is immersive, weightless, and deeply personal.
Red Comb unfolds slowly, revealing more with each listen. A quiet but lasting record that sits somewhere between nostalgia and the present. Out now on Gerpfast Records.
