Ent is the solo musical project of Atsuhi Horie who hails from Nagasaki in the south of Japan. Horie’s main gig is of frontman of the BritPop influenced band STRAIGHTENER [ EMI ] which has a devoted and somewhat large following in their native Japan.
However, Atsushi became attracted to Leftfield electronics and Post-rock which led him to start writing a solo album in 2006 that infused more of those genres’ elements in an effort to make something more personal and deeply sentimental.
Three years in the making this first album ” Welcome Stranger ” is a lush album of wide eyed and unapologetic left of center pop somewhere between ” The Album Leaf ” and ” The Postal Service “.
Atsushi has succeeded in crafting an album that utilizes his newer influences with the more traditional style of song-craft his band STRAIGHTENER is known for. ” Welcome Stranger ” also features remixes from [ Kettel ~ Near The Parenthesis and Helios ].
~~~~~~~~~ ( By all means start with the latest of his work ” Solanin Original Soundtrack feat ” and then ” Welcome Stranger “.
BOTH titles differs from each other and are BOTH very good. [ MySpace ] | [ Last.fm ] ). ~~~~~~~~~
