Keep Calm

Tanakayama, three musicians from Vienna, have known each other since boyhood. Over the years they worked in various bands and finally got together as Tanakayama in 2008.

Of course, traces of the network that grew over the years can be heard in Tanakayama's songs. From Beatles-like happiness to open, elegiac Indie-Rock, there is an ease throughout in the handling of styles which only cosmopolitan, musically experienced people who know each other well, both personally and artistically, can produce. Live, Tanakayama impressively demonstrate their recipe, whose main ingredients include feeling, knowledge and listening. Here you have four musicians playing, seemingly without egos, but instead with a great deal of intuition and style.

Oh, by the way, Tanakayama sing in Japanese, too. But the references to Japan don't define Tanakayama - they are an additional facet, which opens a further range of possibilities to the already multifaceted music and sometimes, like a hidden level in a Jump & Run game, reveals new meanings. It's just that here, playing means listening.
