"ODOURS" or 『香水』 is an attempt at a sonic recreation of the refined Japanese art of appreciating odours known as 香道. Like 香道, there are allusions to common threads embroidered throughout the songs that represent each fragrance (which will go unnamed) so that you might discern a similar 'flavour' or 'texture' from one song to the next. Bearing that in mind, it's maybe important to experience the album as a whole and preferably with headphones, by yourself, or maybe going to a walk. While music, like aromas, have a certain power to unify people, sometimes you can draw even more interesting conclusions when alone, allowed to think.

When I first heard this album it blew my mind, and still remains my fav Sofia Reta LP. It's like a hypnotic ritual ambient music that could serve as a soundtrack to your soul leaving the body after death. I'm still so glad Xavier agreed to let me put this out on Dagger Forest.
