“willow tree” is another memorable output from Yasu Cub, a rock project based in Tokyo and Seattle. Catching our ears earlier this year with lushly melodic gems like “state of indigo,” “willow tree” progresses with particularly blissful qualities — melding warming guitar twangs and soft vocal ruminations, emitting vibey lines like “fallin’ on a daydream” and a beckoning for “someone come to save me.”

The 6/8 drums and serene guitars meld with alluring vocals for a stirring sound, while thematically exuding inspiration from “the long, winding form of a willow tree in Shinjuku Gyoen Park.” Head to the park, with leaves falling and the trees assuming autumnal colors, and this track will feel especially at home.
