17 years old and the Berlin wall
Lately Japanese indie bands have been mailing me to bring their music to my attention. Yesterday I got a mail from singer ‘Paradise’ of the Japanese band Minasamazu (皆様ズ), pointing out a video-recording he made of a band called 17歳とベルリンの壁 (juunanasai to Berurin no nabe), which translates as ’17 years old and the Berlin wall’.
The band, which on their Tumblr mentions only two members, Eriko Takano (vocals and bass) and Yusei Tsuruta (vocals and guitar), makes a mix of shoegaze and dream-pop and is based in Tokyo. Last year they had a mini-album out, ‘Aspect‘. The above video contains a song from the album, ‘Hinemosu‘.
Do you have a band you want to bring under the attention of the thousands of Frontaal Naakt readers? Just mail me and if I like your sound, I’ll share it here. (PB)
