Description
“SOLD OUT First Press”
Our third release on the Infree Records label where we are looking for a sound and band we can feel, and found another Japanese band CRUYFF from Tokyo, Japan.
Cruyff is formed in the summer of 2021. “”Powerpuff Boys and A Girl Band”
Masataka Watanabe (Vo, Gt) and Hiromi Yagi (Gt, Vo) often hung out together during the chaos of COVID. Lying down on the river side and talking a lot about US indie and hardcore scene, Teen Suicide, Title Fight, Horse Jumper of Love, and of course Japanese bands, Number Girl, Fishmans. Usually, it’s trashy but sometimes philosophical and spiritual, It became a very important source of inspiration.
The rhythm section members, Yoshitatsu Kato (Ba) and Sakutaro Yoshida (Dr) are Watanabe’s seniors of the same university and approached to join as members. They have a bit different music background, so it adds essences that only they can bling out.
Out came their first album self self-released on cassette, this is where Infree Records discovered a hidden gem, “lovefullstudentnerdthings” which is the monument that records how the band spontaneously begins to move toward a new musicality, like a living creature.
This album expresses the feelings that cannot be received to anyone by any words through the medium of air vibrations. Like sending out a morse signal alone that no one receives. After a busy few months, Masataka and Infree concluded a phone call and confirmed the release of the album on vinyl.
This album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Yusuke Shinma (VINCE;NT, SAGOSAID), at “Studio REIMEI” a studio he runs in Nishi-Chofu, located in West Tokyo.
Remastered by Yusuke Shinma and Soshi Takeda.
Special edition artwork for this vinyl release were all drawings and designs by ©︎JOYCE.
Do give this album a listen and enjoy the sonic feeling they are trying to convey from Track one until the end…
