REVIEW

The debut album from Tyrkouaz, a Japanese mixture rock duo formed by twin brothers: elder brother Souta (vocals/guitar) and younger brother Rent (drums/choirs).

Rooted in drum and bass yet branching out into a wide spectrum of musical styles, the album presents a distinctly new-generation sound. Among its highlights is “ethergaze,” featuring Ryuta Ueda of Kuyuru on guitar and vocalist Hana Miketa. Tornado-like walls of guitar noise collide with fragile twin vocals, melting together into a drum’n’gaze masterpiece of rare impact.

The track was reportedly performed live for the first time only recently—those who experienced it in person were truly lucky.
