kenjimiyazawa CARTHIEFSCHOOL
Hot on the heels of their debut album, CARTHIEFSCHOOL bring the noise again with a new EP, kenjimiyazawa. On this release, the band blasts through six new songs, opening with the title track, inspired by the author Kenji Miyazawa. As unrelenting and terse as its predecessor, the hyperactive rhythm section of Genki Tsusaka (bass) and Yudai Takasago (drums) provide the foundation for Tomoya Murosaki's angular guitar work and vocals. A clearer, more direct production brings the trio's furious energy into focus, as heard on the hard-charging "baramos" and the monolithic closer "song for kyrgyzstan".
Press
"Unsettlingly askew rhythms...sudden mood shifts, matched by drastic shifts in density and jaggedness...striking and original." - Big Takeover Magazine
"Their blend of aggressively energetic post punk/screamo/post hardcore even jazz influenced sound really smacks you in the face and demands to be paid attention to. There is so much energy, angst and passion for their music it is a marvellous thing to experience." - Scene Point Blank
"Weirdly refreshing and thoroughly unsettling" - New Noise
"A good mix of post-hardcore screams, jazzy bass, and angular guitar…they’re playing creative music beyond their years" - Razorcake
