I've two remixes on this new Miu Mau EP, one as @theleaflibrary.bsky.social and one as Roland Prague (long story). Enjoy!
NEW RELEASE OUT 2/27!
Miu Mau have been friends of the label forever and guitarist Hiromi's old band 百蚊/Hyacca were one of the foundational pillars of early CAR. So it's a profound pleasure to welcome them in all their evolving art-pop glory to our label call-and-response.bandcamp.com/album/motif-21

Matt from The Leaf Library has done fantastic stuff with us recently — with Sea Level, our recent covers comp, and on the forthcoming Miu Mau cassette — but their upcoming album is fucking fantastic and will still be up there with your year’s favourites come December. Treat yourself to a good time.
New album!

'𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴'

9 pastoral indie pop gems, produced by us and mixed by the absolute legend that is John McEntire.

Out 20/03 on LP/CD/DL via @fikarecordings.com. You can pre-order + listen to the first single at:

I have recorded, and there is no real way to dress this up as anything other than it actually is, a U2 cover.

Want to spend an evening cruising a Bandcamp account full of great music, mostly from Japan, that no one else is talking about? And then spend money on buying 3-5 albums/EPs that you can play to other people and they'll go, "What's this?"

Then I have a record label account you oughtta check out:

The first of our 20th anniversary events is coming up in a couple of weeks at Higashi-Koenji UFO Club on November 2nd. Post-punk music, indie DJs, and heaps of loud, rhythmically obtuse, discordant fun. A good friend once called it "stupid fucking childish noise" but we just call it pop.

I directed and edited* this! Please watch it!

*Editing was very easy because it’s an unbroken 3.5-minute shot! I’m the Orson Welles of Koenji, baby.
The Grandma's Garden EP is out next Friday, but in the meantime, @mattschley.com made this fantastic video for the song だから、さよなら. Really pleased with this one. Thanks to all who helped out with their time and good spirits (and shitty yet affordable spirits):

I don't know who's in Tokyo this November and December, but our label is somehow 20 years old and we'll be celebrating with a colourful crowd of artists across three different events.

After a year spent in the abstract realms, our scuzzy indie-punk face is back on with the debut EP from Tokyo duo Grandma's Garden out on 10/17 and available for pre-order now.

Then late last year we partnered with Objects Forever in London to release this collaboration between Fukuoka's Sea Level and @matthewjashton.bsky.social's Sun Drawing project, which you could take as the rural or leafy 1st part of the journey:

In a way, that album is the urban-tinted 3rd part of a triptych of releases we've been putting out. Earlier this year, we released Lo-shi's album Moro-Q: a more ambient take on the same kraut-ish tendencies, which I think of as the more suburban 2nd part:

Since our current preorder release, Former_Airline's new album Breath of the Machineries, leans on what I'd call the abstract pop side of the label, I'm gonna use this thread to highlight some higlights of that side of what we do:
