On Symbol, Yokota diverged from his previous albums, to incorporate elements of classical music as well as compositions by ambient artists.

Across its 14 tracks, he combined samples from musicians including John Cage, Meredith Monk, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, and Debussy, with his own synth and programmed drum work.

Originally released in 2004 on his own Skintone imprint, Lo Recordings’ reissue of Symbol marks the album’s first international vinyl release.

The reissue features the original cover artwork, which comes from John William Waterhouse’s 1896 painting ‘Hylas and the Nymphs’, alongside new liner notes by Ben Eshmade and Tsutomu Noda.

It follows the release of Hito Steyerl’s Power Plants 12″, featuring music by Yokota alongside Kojey Radical.
