Album News: Qrion - We Are Always Under The Same Sky out now on Anjunadeep

 


Anjunadeep finally share the brilliant second album from Japanese producer Momiji Tsukada, aka Qrion. ‘We Are Always Under The Same Sky’ is an uplifting and confident work that was challenging to make, but perhaps all the better for it…


Momi was born in Sapporo, Japan to a family who supported her passions and told her that “being different is okay, and even cool” - particularly powerful in a culture that Momi describes as conformist. It was not all plain sailing though, and the death of her father took a toll on the whole family. Making music began to function for her as something akin to “exposure therapy”, a way to “connect with her memories in a meaningful way”. 


It’s been a decade since Momi moved to America, having initially visited and fallen in love with San Francisco on a fortnight-long visit. It was here that she made a lot of friends, including Spencer Brown, and eventually joined the Anjunadeep fold with her ‘Sapporo EP’. Just two years later, her debut album ‘I Hope It Lasts Forever’ was released to great acclaim, and her impact on the label was cemented. 


After this however, Momi’s struggles with addiction worsened and she found herself unable to create for over 18 months. She went to rehab, and subsequently got sober - a wonderful development in her personal life, but one that left her asking herself, if “sadness and loneliness” were her biggest sources of inspiration, would she still be able to create music if she was stable and happy?

In 2024, she tackled this question head-on, and cites the year as a “turning point and wake-up call to learn to love [herself]”. Today’s new album ‘We Are All Under The Same Sky’ is a stunning testament to Momi’s resilience and her journey of “overcoming challenges and forgiving [herself]”. Anjunadeep team is very proud to release it, and look forward to hearing it on the dancefloor this year.




‘We Are Always Under The Same Sky’ on Vinyl
As Momi’s new album is such an intimate work it was only fitting for our vinyl pressing to be just as personal as the music…

Featuring vibrant artwork designed by Chinese-American animator and illustrator Zee Yorke, ‘We Are Always Under The Same Sky’ is pressed to Anjuna’s first picture disc and is available exclusively on the Anjuna Music Store. 



The design features flowers that Momi used to draw when she was in rehab, and the back of the vinyl is set in the Bay Area of California where she used to sit and ponder the future when she lived in San Francisco.

The vinyl also comes with a four-page recipe booklet that features three of Momi's most cherished recipes that have accompanied her throughout her life and that help her feel at home wherever on the globe she is.

A beautiful addition to any fan’s collection, ‘We Are Always Under The Same Sky’ is shipping now from the Anjuna Music Store - click HERE to grab your copy.

She looks forward to “the beautiful experience of sharing vulnerability and honesty on the dancefloor” and hopes that the memories from her shows can “become a small yet cherished part of peoples lives”. 

Having had so many special moments with her on the dancefloors of the UK, Albania, North America and Mexico last year, we know that anyone seeing Qrion in 2025 will be in for a treat. Grab your tickets to her album tour below.
