Alberto Venturini This Band is Genius.
Another Amazing Release.
I remain speechless when I listen to this Japanese Band
One of the Best Band of Ever! Favorite track: colder than thermite.

brantly A tremendous LP of dark neo-classical catharsis, midnight-hued drones and shimmering post-rock landscapes. Favorite track: tipsy dance.

about

The Black Rain is the third album from the Tokyo-based neoclassical/alternative ensemble, Anoice.

Aside from Anoice, the music group Ricco Label is made up of many other wonderful projects: the solo work of Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata (who are both members of Anoice), RiLF, films, mokyow, cru, as wel as some secret projects yet to come!

Be immersed by the grand orchestration of piano and strings that often manifest a destructive beauty with the addition of vivid noise and rhythms. Recorded in Tokyo and London, this album contains excellent tunes such as "colder than thermite," which served as background music for the Louis Vuitton iPad application. "ripple," was made for "Variations of Silence," a neoclassical music compilation album planned by Tower Records. And "drops" was made for "More Hope for Japan", a charity compilation album.

In addition, four music videos are now available to view on YouTube: "ripple" directed by Patryk Seni Senwicki and Tamas Kiss in Austria, "white paper" made by Ukrainian art unit SYN and Anoice member Takahiro Kido, and the videos for "finale" and "drops" were created by the members of Anoice themselves.

The Black Rain was released on year after the Great East Japan Earthquake, may the victims of the disaster find peace.

Requiem For Hell

If you have never heard 'Mono' (shame on you) this is as good a place to begin as any. A magisterial delicacy, souls skipping stones across the Phlegethon; the thrumming echoes of broken heartstrings, and the dissonant collapsing of thunderheads all -sometimes- within one track. Enjoy! vykr
