Kubota releases indie-pop EP, Zen.

On the lead-up to their first EP, Kubota, appreciates that greatness takes time and a patience to build up the skills, knowledge, and unique features that go into a release. Born in 1994 in Los Angeles, Kubota has been steadily acquiring this knowledge and refining his craft as a songwriter; recording and engineering his music.

Since 2021, the EP, Zen, has been quietly building up, while Kubota has been growing his media presence, gaining 80k streams across Spotify, and featuring on numerous blogs and podcasts, while his tiktoks account boasts and impressive 7k followers.

The EP covers a collection of Kubota’s personal experience, on the quest for peace and happiness through introspection, whilst touching on sensitive subjects such depression, love, heartbreak, and self-loathing. Kubota aims to offer affirmations for these behaviours and make such feelings acceptable and not to be ashamed of.

The 7-song EP features highly anticipated track “No replacements”, recognising the temporary nature of happiness in its unpredictable patterns of appearance, and therefore how we should enjoy those moments. With an alternative-pop style, Kubota provides a melancholic but vibey sound. Check out the artist’s website here.
