The third release from the bathhouse-loving label 'Oke Music Factory' is here-and it's a brand-new 7-inch single from none other than Towa Tei! As part of his lifelong journey through Japan's finest hot springs and hidden baths, Towa Tei delivers a steamy, relaxing, and deeply dope soundscape.With warm beats and effects echoing at just the right angle, the track features philosophical lyrics by SWEET ROBOTS and the hypnotic refrain of 'ONSEN' and 'ROTEN'-before you know it, your mind is submerged in a luxurious free-flowing hot spring state.Also included on Side A is an a cappella version that offers meditative benefits for both body and mind. On Side B, an exquisite etching of an illustration by NONCHELEE makes this 7-inch a true collector's item.Mastering by Naoya Tokunou.
