contouring," but UkabazUmorezU is "more particular, insular, imaginary, and full of contours shaped by [...] moments and the spaces between them." Release and reception Ken first contacted RVNG Intl. in the winter of 2015 about joining the label. It let him join after the 2016 release of his album On The Quakefish, and his first release for the label, as well as the lead single of UkabazUmorezU, was "Wochikaeri to Uzume," which came out on August 9, 2017. The video for "Doujiri," released on October 27, 2017, was directed by Kiyotaka “Kiyo” Sumiyoshi and is a visual representation of Ken’s folk-inspired musical style, taking place in a "shadowy forest inhabited by ancient spirits," The Attic summarized. RVNG Intl. distributed UkabazUmorezU on October 20, 2017 via CD and digital download and the vinyl version on November 10. The album garnered favorables from sources such as Resident Advisor and Tiny Mix Tapes upon its release.
