Mystery Circles
Soft Suburbia
Kenny Ueda
In a lo-fi landscape increasingly crowded with interchangeable beats and AI-generated mood music, the Yokohama composer and producer offers something unmistakably his own. Drawing together bedroom pop, ambient textures, and playful psychedelia, he builds a series of miniature instrumental worlds, each with its own atmosphere, peculiar logic, and melodic surprises.

Navin Kala
Navin Kala is an ambient musician who lives a life in the Brazilian countryside that's almost impossible to believe even when you're looking right at it on his Instagram: rain dripping from palms and banana trees, mangoes dropping into his hands, chickens and dogs running free, and in the middle of it all, a home music studio filled with classic synths and acoustic instruments and a Fender Rhodes he rebuilt top to bottom. His new release on Mystery Circles, Spinoza, is his seventh full-length since 2020. Part of what makes it so beautiful is how much of the world beyond the studio doors Navin lets in. He graciously joined me for a conversation about rural life, isolation, and inspiration, creativity in the internet age, and how an 18th-century Spanish philosopher inspired his new album.
