Emiko Blalock wrote and sang a sweet song about childhood memories of her cousins; a song for the love of family and community; a song about “losing and making space.” Her friend Levi Fuller (they used to play in a band called Pufferfish together) came in and filled out the instrumentation. Together the two of them are called The Lesser Fugu.
Emiko’s vocals are clear and confident, delicately delivering an entrancing lyric. Levi’s instrumentation starts beautifully with a bass line and builds, adding shimmering and thoughtful guitar parts, as well as percussion. “Artful Making” is a gorgeous collaboration.
