I didn’t intend to write a review for this show. I’ve already reviewed two different Kishi Bashi performances (one at Delmar Hall, one at Powell Hall with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra), and I feared it would be a disservice to one of my all-time favorite musicians if I gushed about the same million things I love about his live shows.

One silver lining of living through a pandemic is the joy of reintroducing old favorite activities. Things we assumed were a normal part of life that were brutally ripped away from us are slowly trickling back into our lives.
