"just nothing forever"
Japanese indie band BROTHER SUN SISTER MOON comprised of real brother and sister, Shohei (guitar / vox) and Ayu Megumi (bass / vox) with Yusuke Okada (drums) recently dropped their debut EP entitled "Some Same Soul" (July 29, 2020) and the third track, Numb, is a divergently wrought musical amalgam of dream pop, electronica, psyche pop with shoegaze affections. I love the vocal mix, beautiful layers of guitars and the surprising funk patina. I thought of MGMT and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The fact that this would play equally at a big festival and a house show says a lot. It is earnestly driven, no pretense or indie tropes of the day.

Shohei Megumi (Gt&Vo), Yusuke Okada (Dr) and Ayu Megumi (Ba&Vo) founded the indie pop band BROTHER SUN SISTER MOON in August 2017, in Osaka (Japan).
Two voices of very different colors, singing in English, blend into a very open sound, adding their own peculiar and crooked angle to the universality of pop. Clearly inspired by Western indie, their music is much more than that, easily tickling the ears of listeners from various backgrounds.
The lyrics, co-written by the brother and sister Megumi, depict with a rich expressiveness the complexity of the heart, and how it underlies the inherent loneliness of people, the beauty of looking for someone to heal this solitude, the feeling of love.
The three members of BROTHER SUN SISTER MOON jump across music categories with their evolving art form, an anonymous projection of people’s inner self into music.
Before they even debuted, they caught the attention of music curators and were invited to various major festivals in Japan.
Their debut EP “Some Same Soul” was released on July 29, 2020. Three of the tracks, that benefited from an earlier release, have been selected on several Spotify editorial playlists of various countries.
