Name: Ryu Ichi by Skyler Skjelset
Duration: 2 min 58 s
Description: This short piece of music is a composed of a few different performances of Ryuichi Sakamoto's theme, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence". It was made while on a brief tour of Texas in a hotel room. It was made as a rumination in ode to one of my favorite musicians and I take absolutely no false ownership.

fine thank you

Formed in 2016 by Sean Kwon and Hanna White and later joined by Casey Mullen and Skyler Skjelset (Fleet Foxes, Beach House, The Walkmen), Yeah Baby is a rock band from New York City.

Recorded at Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn, New York, Neptune Hotel is the band's first collection of songs written from 2016 to 2019. The album was mixed by Skyler and mastered by Simon Scott (Slowdive), with album artwork by Azuma Makoto (floral work) and Shunsuke Shiinoki (photography).

The title Neptune Hotel was taken from a rather mysterious hotel of the same name across the street from the apartment that Hanna and Sean resided in while writing the material for the record, where the haunting glow of the light-box on the facade of the hotel illuminated their rooms at night. Inspired by the building while never having stepped inside, Hanna and Sean imagined a world in which the songs of the album are lived out. The result is an eerily beautiful stay in that dreamy space, an exploration for the duration of the record to find beauty and hope amidst a chaos of anxiety, frustration, and desperation.
