Ambient-folk-electronic experimental sounds from Fujisawa, Japan. 

 

 

 

Electronic Phantoms is the latest album from Maya Ongaku, a three-piece hailing from a city 50 kilometers southwest of Tokyo who specialize in ethereal and curious sonics that explore the relationship between people and machines.
