Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Wonderful post-rock band Yucca from Tokyo has a 3rd album out now, 6 years after the previous that was titled "the orange sun in my room". The hiatus had much to do with their drummer who broke a bone in her lower back(!). They since added another drummer and the former instead now does percussions and keyboards.

Not only the new album is being sold at the low price of ¥1000, but guess what, the band even officially offers the whole album as a free download on their web site. They want everyone to hear their album so much that they even go as far as writing about the free download on a card next to their CDs in a shop... Do check it out!

By the way I also greatly recommend their live shows. There doesn't seem to be any planned at the moment, but keep your eyes and ears open.
