“Two of the finest indie talents in Tokyo right now”
Think early Human League in league with Cocteau Twins.

Yokan means premonition in Japanese, and they know the system.  The duo quote Warpaint, Björk and Blonde Redhead as some of their influences.  After self-releasing an EP in Japan, which did exceedingly well on college radio, they were immediately picked up by Ample Play - their first single ‘A Dream You Never Wake Up From’ came out in November, after which they went touring in the USA.

"Ample Play, masters at unearthing the world’s weird sounds” NME Magazine 

"Ample Play is truly a label of love, bringing you new rock in the great explorer's tradition of Elektra, Island and Apple." David Fricke, Rolling Stone, USA


Both Tjinder & Benedict are avid record collectors, who met when they both studied at Preston Polytechnic.  Tjinder became the Union Social Executive whilst Ben went to London to work in a vinyl record pressing plant.  As Cornershop took off and developed, so did the amount of Turbans they had to wear, and Ample Play Records is the culmination of all that work and experience, backed by freedom & enjoyment, with 'Music 10 Commandments'.
