A Psychedelic Lofi Dream Come True

From the depths of Mike Brun’s imagination emerges Ciao Ciao Marigold (CCM), a Lofi psychedelic wonderland that feels like a love child of Khruangbin’s grooves, Studio Ghibli’s whimsy, and the laid-back euphoria of THC gummies. CCM’s latest album, satsuma, doesn’t just invite listeners into its technicolor world—it wraps them in it.

With its funky basslines, intricate guitar melodies, and vibey drum grooves, ‘satsuma’ is more than music; it’s a textured experience. Each track feels like a journey through a kaleidoscopic landscape, where every beat is saturated with warmth and originality. Mike Brun’s meticulous craftsmanship shines here—nearly every instrument was performed and recorded by the NYC-based producer, a feat that gives CCM’s music a deeply personal touch.

Standout tracks like “Byeonggyul” and “Sumo” showcase Brun’s ability to blend cultural inspiration with his signature sound. The former channels the ethereal vibes of Mid-Air Thief, while the latter delivers a guitar riff so thick and juicy, it’s impossible not to move. The attention to detail is staggering, and the result is a musical experience that feels alive.

Whether you’re a Lofi enthusiast or just someone seeking a technicolor escape, satsuma, is a must-listen.
