ABOUT
Robbing Millions: Take a holiday inside with Robbing Millions. Belgian musician Lucien Fraipont’s second album under the moniker is lush, inviting, and so appealingly weird you’ll find yourself returning constantly to these sticky-sweet tunes. In the hallowed legacy of avant-pop artists ranging from R. Stevie Moore to Scritti Politti, Fraipont is a true original making magic out of melodies—and Holidays Inside is his most colorful fantasia to date, brimming with ideas and pure musical wonder.

Shoko Igarashi: Shoko grew up surrounded by dreamlike landscapes of abundant nature in the snowy countryside of Tsuruoka, a mysterious and surreal region renowned for producing the best quality rice in Japan, where she says, “the water and the air feel the purest," and where mountains and shrines overflow with ancient mysticism. After beginning her musical career in Tokyo, she attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree of music. She then relocated to Brooklyn, New York where she began regularly performing live alongside innumerable talented jazz musicians. In 2018, she moved to Brussels, Belgium and founded the group Maniac Maison with her partner, pianist Casimir Liberski, and guitarist Lucien Fraipont.
