Shigeto - Cherry Blossom Baby

Heritage has been at the heart of Zach Saginaw's recording project from the start; his middle name is Shigeto, a name passed down from his great grandfather, which means "to grow" — it was apt given his premature birth weight of less than a pound, and remains fitting for the evolution of his artistry, now nearly 15 years since he signed to Ghostly.
Out tomorrow, his first LP since 2017 is a celebration of self-love and an expression of vitality informed by his family's cultural history and rooted in Detroit — guests include Zelooperz, KESSWA, Ahya Simone, Tammy Lakkis, and more. Expanding on the title's metaphor, Shigeto is pushing forward with the people around him: 
 
"A cherry blossom is regrowing, but it's always different too, and I'm speaking to that with all the different musicians on this record, getting everyone involved and honoring their contributions is part of that cherry blossom philosophy.”

Cherry Blossom Baby is shipping now in limited edition Sakura Droplet vinyl and CD. We've also bundled the LP with catalog classics No Better Time Than Now (Blue, Black & White Vinyl), Lineage (Black & White Vinyl Repress),
