"tell no lie"
Japanese post rock band downy has a VJ as a member casting a barrage of imagery to coincide with their precise feral-esque barrage of post / art rock sounds. Just watch the Official Video of their divergent rock / electro wash called (appropriately) Haze to experience their sound and vision and fury. While Haze is a tense assault of rock, a feeling of angst, of frustration, of unkempt desire, that might tighten the muscles around your shoulders, is tempered by the beautiful plaintive vocal aesthetics. The counter position of feeling might make you feel unfocused and spent but in the best of ways.
“Untitled” is the 7th album by downy, who are considered to be the pioneers of Japanese post rock. --press notes
