The Hatch, bunch a nude guys from Japan
I discovered this via Ian Martin, a British (I think, his name sounds very British) journalist who travels all over Japan to see gigs by Indy rock bands and knows them all.
The Hatch is not for everyone (but what is), but I think it’s a quite gripping concoction of punk and a range of other styles, among them jazz. Halfway this song suddenly a trombone starts playing, giving it a extra layer, and warmth and humanism that distinguishes this from the usual punk-rock fare. Falsettos have this same quality.
Anyway, enjoy. Listen to their first album if you crave more. (PB)
