Pounding traditional drums and grinding synths herald Dawn, the new album from post-industrial Tokyo duo IN THE SUN, their first release on Chinabot.

Dawn was inspired by the musical traditions and wild mountain landscapes of composer TIDEPOOL’s childhood in rural Japan. Layers of ethereal synthesizers and wailing saxophones by Kim Pueru evoke the mist and granite of mountains are beaten with rhythms that hit like shattering rocks.

The record “embodies a fusion of synthetic and percussive elements, evoking both mysticism and raw energy,” says TIDEPOOL. “The juxtaposition of dystopian undertones and the resilience of nature serves as a thematic backdrop, reflecting on societal shifts and personal introspection.”

Dawn’s instrumentation may be inspired by Japanese taiko drums and African percussion, but it remains extremely contemporary, with swirling rhythms of singeli, juke, footwork, gabber, and minimal to create an evil cacophony. The album also nods to the GORGE movement, which is experiencing a resurgence in Japan.

TIDEPOOL describes the record as an “epic poem.” This is evident on Twilight, where urgent synths and nimble per- cussion makes you wonder what Akira would have looked like set in on a mountain range instead of in Tokyo.

On Voidance, bells, drums and saxophone are whipped up onto a violent storm which builds and crashes repeatedly, a powerful statement of intent from one of Tokyo’s most exciting contemporary acts.

About IN THE SUN:

Organized by TIDEPOOL since 2011, IN THE SUN has a fluid lineup, with Kim Pueru joining on tenor saxophone for Dawn. TIDEPOOL utilizes ethnic drums, synthesizers, and laptops and is influenced and inspired by artists such as Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Throbbing Gristle, Geinoh Yamashirogumi, CAN, among others.
They supported Baltimore duo Matmos during their Japan tour and organized the party known as “RAW TEMPO” at Bushbash.

El Pie de Oveja, the latest V/A compilation from Cuntry Club, brings together Zgjim, K1RA, Fortunato, Rkills, KoIfin ft Ephemer, Rumina, and Vincent Ce Soir ft U.R.A.M.I., 9starP, blending industrial textures with rich folklore. The title, meaning "The Sheep’s Foot," evokes ancient myths where sheep symbolize innocence, sacrifice, and vulnerability. This contrasts with the industrial, metallic sound present in the compilation, evoking a sharp, mechanical bite.The guaracha influence, woven into the frenetic rhythms, syncopated grooves of jersey club adds a Latin electronic undercurrent to the darker tones. Inspired by the 18th-century French play Le Pied de Mouton, which features a talisman with unpredictable power, the compilation mirrors the idea of mechanical unpredictability—both powerful and volatile. The sheep’s foot also references Hydnum repandum, a mushroom known for its rugged texture, adding an organic contrast to the industrial soundscapes.
