The band’s 2023 album everything is alive– their first since 2017 – has been called “their best yet,” by music magazine Paste, while the Wall Street Journal described it as “perfect music for the summer’s end, an album to be experienced under a thick blanket while watching the sun disappear behind the trees.”
They will be supported on March 14 at AsiaWorld-Expo by Japanese singer-songwriter Ichiko Aoba who pens mysterious, modern folk music.
