ROTH BART BARON is a indie rock band based in Tokyo, Japan.
ROTH BART BARON ’s music is influenced by modern rock and folk music in particular. The band’s song has beautiful melody and attractive arrangement, with incredibly impressive Japanese lyrics. 1st album “The Ice Age” (2014) was recorded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Brian McTear (Kurt Vile, the War on Drugs) as co-producer and mix engineer Jonathan Low (The National, Sufjan Stevens). The album was selected among best albums of the year by a number of music media. The Sci-fi inspired second album “ATOM” was recorded at the God Speed You! Black Emperor's studio “Hotel2tango” in Montreal, Canada, with domestic local musicians.
Following the success of their first two albums “The Ice Age” (2014) and “ATOM” (2015), the band performed on big music festivals including “SUMMER SONIC”, “FUJI ROCK Festival” in Japan.
The band launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2017 and supporters helped to achieve the goal with time to spare. They went to London with the funding to work with Bradley Spence (ALT-J, Kasabian) and Alexander Beitzke (James Arthur, Florence + the Machine) in studio.
They also held "US-Tour 2014”, ”ASIA TOUR 2016”, and appeared at ”Big Mountain Music Festival '15" in Thailand, and "PLAYTIME FESTIVAL ’16" in Mongolia. Masaya Mifune, the vocal guitarist, performed an attractive stage at the Tokyo show of a “Celebration David Bowie 2017” world tour in February 2017.
New music video “ATOM” directed by Julia Schönstädt is released on 13 September 2017. The story started from wood cottage in a beautiful forest, and went all the way to the coastal area in Brighton. The band members also acted in the clip.
