Kuyashii - instrumental melodicism from Georgia, U.S.

This melodic-melancholic instrumental album (45 minutes) has good potential for audiences that understand or enjoy subdued melodicism expressed through guitar. It is very easy on the ears. The pace of the drum programming is rather uptempo as a general rule, not very fast, but certainly not slow, while at times there are segments of faster, more extreme speeds. The melodies are not meant to be sugary, but there is an abundance of melodies in every song. There seem to be background sounds to fill out the mood for smoothness. Even when the music is going in the faster tempos the overall feel is not aggressive nor obnoxious but rather friendly on the ears. I mention all this to say: all those components accompany the center piece of the music, namely, the guitar playing. Sometimes it is more prominent, at other times the background music comes forward to allow other things, like atmosphere or keyboards. The guitar work tends to find nothing pleasant melodies. There is some tremolo or shredding in some spots but expect abundant subtle melodicism throughout.
