Album
アダンの風 (Windswept Adan) is the seventh studio album by Japanese folk singer and guitarist Ichiko Aoba. It was released via her label Hermine on December 2, 2020. Windswept Adan marked a departure from Aoba's previously minimalist guitar instrumentation, instead using chamber folk instrumentation such as a string quartet, harp, flute, woodwinds and piano, as well as field recordings of nature. The album's music was composed and arranged in collaboration with Taro Umebayashi. Windswept Adan received widespread acclaim from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 82, based on 6 reviews, indicating 'universal acclaim'. Shy Thompson of Pitchfork awarded the album an 8.0/10 and noted the album's strong narrative arc, writing that "as the story’s protagonist deepens her connection with nature—witnessing its beauty, destruction, and eventual rebirth—each track distinguishes itself as a chapter in that emotional journey". Emily Mackay of The Observer appreciated Aoba's calm sound, writing that "the album casts a still, soothing spell".
