Floyd Cymbaline

FUREASTEEN pronounced fə́ːr-íːstíːn was formed in London in 1995 by Tomokazu Date, a Japanese musician exploring experimental sounds across England and Europe.

Along with fellow Japanese students from Saint Martin’s School of Art, he spent Sundays in a flat in Kings Cross recording lo-fi, avant-garde music using only cheap synthesizers and Casio keyboards.

In 1997, they released the 7-inch single KasioTelemusik on I Records (a Che Records sublabel). The group disbanded soon after, but Tomokazu continues to create under the name FUREASTEEN—weaving nostalgic textures, cosmic harmonies, and electric zen energy.

✦ New album Mars Lift-Musik out June 13, 2025.
