Yorushika – Hebi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika’s latest song, “Hebi” (“Snake”).

Since releasing “Aporia,” Yorushika has continued putting out lower-key tracks, and this new song is also arranged within a narrow range that’s easy for anyone to sing.

This work doesn’t feature the extremely low phrases that are characteristic of Yorushika.

Rather than being a “low” song, it feels more like a piece with a limited vocal range, and in keeping with that, the vocal line is crafted to be gently shaped with minimal rises and falls.

Because the instrumentation is somewhat subdued, be mindful of fade-outs and breathing when singing so the vocals don’t stick out awkwardly.
