Stepping into the solo limelight: meet Kishi Bashi

We meet the classically-trained violinist who has toured as a backing musician for Regina Spektor, "of Montreal" and more... but now Kishi Bashi is stepping into the solo limelight. His first album is just out: it’s a poppy, folky, indie affair with hints of "The Lumineers" and Arcade fire, and a touch of the ethereal. He plays live and unplugged for us in the studio.
