about

Debut single released 31st July 2020.

ABOUT "MOTHER"
Recorded and mixed from the bandmembers’ homes under COVID-19 separation, “Mother” is a live favourite, sung by Kaoru in her native Japanese, from the first few shows. The digital only release will benefit grass roots venues whose existence is threatened by ongoing pandemic related closures.

Kaoru says “without the existence of smaller venues and promoters, we would literally not have even been able to get a start. We mustn’t forget that pretty much every UK artist that we now know and love got their start in the sort of places that are now in grave peril.”

She continues, “Mother is a cover of a classic 1990s J-Pop single by iconic female duo PUFFY AmiYumi, whom I adored when younger. Our version has gone down really well in our live shows to date. We originally had no plan to record or release it, but in the initial months of lockdown, it felt perfect as a mood lifter, with its summery dream-pop jangles and pretty, slightly elegiac melody. We hope we’ve done it justice.”

All proceeds from sales on Bandcamp will be donated to the Save Our Venues fundraiser from The Music Venue Trust.
