YAIMA

Seattle's YAIMA, the Cascadian folktronic duo of multi-instrumentalist Masaru Higasa and vocalist Pepper Proud, has been crafting their unique sound since 2014. Their debut album, Pellucidity, released that same year, laid the groundwork for a discography that includes their recent 2026 release, AETHER (Intended for Psychedelic Journeys). Their music blends organic rhythms and world instruments with transcendent electronic production and soothing vocals, creating expansive soundscapes. It's a journey into introspective and healing sonic realms.
