Retronica is, as the name suggests, a fusion of Pitohui Record's 'toytronica' and retro themes. It is maybe the chirpiest and most audio-nostalgic of all their releases here, and I love it a lot for those reasons.

It's not nostalgia tied to a specific place or feeling, a book you enjoyed reading or a game you enjoyed playing; conversations you cherished, or people you knew. It's a genuine warmth that rolls over you strongly, a little regretted even as you miss it when it's gone.

There are plenty of happy, uplifting songs, too; it's Pitohui Records, who'll try brightly to put a smile on your face! But my favourite is unquestionably 332.35m, a piece that fits that chilled and low-tempo nostalgic feeling.

Fitting that the last album I find and review here is probably one of my favourites... I guess this is where it has to end for now. But I will hope that Pitohui Records will continue to make music for many years to come, and that we'll cross paths into the future, too. I'll look forward to seeing that bird's smile again, and smiling a little more, myself.

Zoodiac is probably one of the wildest novelty concepts for an album, but its sound can't be caged! Its claim to be an organic album in electronica feels pretty well realised; this is a pretty experimental little album, with Electronic Splinter almost like something that Carbon Based Lifeforms would produce.

Noctua is similarly synth-y, and Drunken feels like a strong-bass punchup at the Zoo(diac) that is drawing the stares of the animals present. Biodiversity is a resilient 'toytronica' march that persists even as the world is harsh, and probably my favourite track of the album, but...

Tucana is also a great example of how the album fits the wild themes it tackles, while hitting those same chirpy beats. If you have an open mind, you'll find a lot of faves in this one - just know that it's wild, out there!

A super playful album, and proof once again that Pitohui Records mascot is an adorable clown, redeeming the nature of clowns from the slander they unfairly face.

Most of the album is playful and light-hearted, with Footstep and Circus Morning each taking different approaches. Circus Morning is a bouncy little chirp of greeting, but Footstep uses sampling to make a surprisingly danceable little club mix. And then, Mr. Magic Spell slides in with a steel chair, mixing drones with the light DnB elements Pitohui Records sometimes plays with. It, as some say, slaps.

The circus has to close eventually, though, and Synopsis leaves you on a high note - my personal favourite track, it's a liquid-cool and refreshing piece with just a hint of bitter nostalgia. The circus'll return, someday, but until then - we'll have to wait for it.

This is THE album that got me into Pitohui Records. I try to avoid rating albums as 'oh, this is a perfect album!', but for me, this is a perfect album. If an album could brighten up sleepless nights, it'd be this one.

If you've heard Pitohui Record's 'toytronica' and thought you like it, I am almost certain you'll like this album. Every single track has a hazy, sweet atmosphere to it that - even if you feel a bit sad, it'll make you feel better at the same time. It's comforting like warm feathers, rainswept and bright like the night sky.

Sleeping Streetlamp is my favourite track, but I think Weekend might be the best example of what the album is like. Exudation spectrum is a perfect closing track, too. Even if you can't rest, you'll feel a bit better.

This, along with Madoromi 2:00 a.m. is one of the albums that introduced me to Pitohui Records; to sweet, harpy-having toytronica with an emotional punch to it, so much so that I left all these reviews.

Seagull Sea Girl is a playfully nostalgic album, whose showcase core track is like running along a pier with friends - when you were all younger, and had less obligations or cares.

But the whole album is great, from the boppy dance of Rainforest Vibes to the cool rush of Lovely Spirit. You'll have laid-back, slightly nostalgic tracks like Neighborhood Waves Sound, and then - my favourite of the album - the crackly ocean night ode that is Star Fluctuation. Voyage 19 is great, too - it's just a fantastic album. I think if you listen, you'll find an unfamiliar journey to a distant shore, just for you.

Pitoku is a scratchy warm sweater of an album, one that's met you upstairs to talk about old memories while you watch the night sky. It's familiar and cosy, but wants you to just have a good time spending time with it. Chirpy little tracks like Rotten Rotten play around with you, and then Grass Lantern reminds you of all the mischief the two of you used to get up to; and who knows, might still manage.

My favourite track of this one has to be From the Attic, though; it's a warm and slightly scuffed - in the best way - piece that anyone who has ever spent time with a friend or friends in some hidden place, talking about unimportant things... You probably have your own stories, unique to you, as a listener, that the song'll bring out.

I feel like that's the highest praise I can give any music, honestly. Give it a listen, and you'll feel something unique to you.

Ametronica is one of the first albums I heard of from Pitohui Records. I knew from the start I'd be a huge fan; an adorable harpy, playful and emotionally damaging music, ah - I'm home, I thought.

But Ametronica has some real curveballs. The aptly-named Outlander is basically a 'soft' DnB track that somehow fits the album, perfectly - probably because they all fit the core theme of rainy-day music, even if differently. It's hard to pick a favourite, Shards Falling got me hooked on the first listen, and Mint Hint brought me genuine good luck, which is why I'm returning the favour.

I'll go with Condensation, for its rainswept chiming and sounding like lost VN music from a game you only half-remember playing.

Robotronica is a playful delight of an album. Although there's plenty of the usual melancholy I associate with Pitohui Records, giving the 'toytronica' genre an electronic little bounce only makes it shine that much brighter. Tracks like Joywalker Avenue and Workshop Street feel like you're in a brightly-lit madcap city, the latter's laid-back chill vibes soothing the body and soul.

But then, there are also tracks like Evil Witch's Industry that clank and clang with mysterious, possibly ~mischievous~ intent, and that's just great, too. But my favourite track has to be Pastel Layers Unit, which I'm going to put under a subgenre of cardigan-core... It might not exist outside my heart, but it probably exists.

Good music for harpies and robots, both.
