Los Angeles-based musician Tashi Wada works within a heady, intergenerational slipstream bridging storied East and West Coast art music institutions, and the DIY experimental scenes
that emerged in the 2000s and 2010s.
Between recording and performing with his partner, Julia Holter, and running his record label Saltern, Wada has carved a unique path as a forward-thinking composer alongside a tight network of collaborators, drawing on diverse influences and exchanges.
Wada’s new album ‘What Is Not Strange?‘, strips away preconceptions of the scope of his music, presenting complex, pop-informed compositions that bristle with joy.
