✤ Industrial No Wave Tokyo duo IN THE SUN mixing saxophone, electronics and Taiko drums, present 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 the granite of mountains are beaten with rhythms that hit like shattering rocks.

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

✷ "Dawn" 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.
