Album Description
"Pidji" is the second LP from Nature's Neighbor. The strong pop sensibilities of vocalist and song-writer Mike Walker are extrapolated across eleven songs with a noteworthy mix of acoustic, folk, rock, and electro-pop flavors. Contributor Cheer Xhao adds an essential thread to the experience on Pidji with her use of the hulusi (a Chinese reed instrument) and shining vocals, sometimes sung in Mandarin Chinese.
