Wavelength [140g Black Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter Shane Sato returns with Wavelength, his sophomore album on Mixto Records, due May 13, 2026. Building on the momentum of his breakthrough debut Until We Meet Again—which earned critical praise and over a million streams—the Japanese-American, Los Angeles-based artist delivers his most ambitious and collaborative work to date.

Wavelength is a seamless blend of jazz, indie R&B, soul, and funk, stitched together by warm, vibrant textures and an organic thematic current of love, connection, and the calming flow of water. Sato assembled a powerhouse roster of collaborators and friends for the record, including critically lauded saxophonist Braxton Cook, indie pop outfit Box Dreams, R&B vocalist Oli-J, modern R&B songstress Nao Yoshioka, jazz virtuoso Reuben James, and producer Coastal. Across 11 tracks, the album moves from the devotional R&B of lead single "Never Let You Go" to the moodier, late-night pull of "Deep Dive," the neo-soul coastal drift of "Surfliner," and the lo-fi dance energy of ""Pulse"—each song a distinct window into Sato's expanding sonic world.

Born and raised in Southern California, Sato has always occupied a space where cultures, sounds, and influences converge. Wavelength leans fully into that spirit, channeling his love of genre-blending, creative partnership, and the meditative pull of water into a cohesive and deeply felt body of work. Set to be one of the most compelling independent releases of the year, Wavelength will be available on vinyl and across all digital platforms.
