Ichiko Aoba - Luminescent Creatures (Album Initial Thoughts)

This is absolutely beautiful. Also more on the artistic side, but in a much more palatable form than Huremic (which I just listened to before this). Huremic was chaotic (and it fit the vibe and the title, Seeking Darkness), where as Ichiko Aoba is like the essence of calm, she is a luminescent creature and she's clearly living her happily ever after in some cottagecore cabin in some Japanese woods and you happen to come across her cabin, and then she offers you a cup of tea and 35min 46sec of conversation, and then you leave the cabin and walk home, and this album appears in your head out of nowhere and the thoughts of it won't leave you alone so you go back into the woods and cannot find the cabin again for the life of you, as if you imagined the whole thing. This is the only explanation I can think of for music this beautiful to exist.
