WOMAN / beautiful /CD(FLAKES-190)/2018.6.27 Release
When you listen to the WOMAN’s song, you might think “Where is the scene their music can belong to?” Their sound is too edgy and unique for the Japanese music scene.
WOMAN’s musical interests came from various backgrounds: the electronic world music in the club culture, the experience of being in the post-rock and math rock band, and the artistic sensitivity as the music listeners. All the factors are hybridized to create their sound and “beautiful” was born with their spirit of musical adventure.
This Album contains 6 songs, and all songs are filled with the band’s firm confidence for their musical skills inspired by THE XX, RHYE, ARCA, MOUNT KIMBIE, BON IVER, DAUGHTER, ASGEIR, and SAMPHA. WOMAN’s sound is reminiscent of not only for the Japanese bands like D.A.N and yahyel, but also the MASSIVE ATTACK, JAMES BLAKE, CORNELIUS, and RADIOHEAD as the musical pioneers. WOMAN has developed their music sensitivity with the sound all over the world in real time. Their creation has no boundaries to the world.
