In The Sun - Metaphor

In The Sun is a Tokyo-based duo of Naoki Takano aka TIDEPOOL and Kenta Suzuki aka TEST, here joined by Kim Pueru on saxophone. Released by Discipline Production, label responsible for the Dead Bitch EP, "Metaphor" is their first physical album that unravels itself at the intersection of deconstructed club, dark jazz and gorge (japanese niche genre inspired by rock climbing). It has the polished, cinematic charm of modern sci-fi compositions and at the same time is firmly grounded by its DIY underground roots. Fans of Cemetery, Alex Zhang Hungtai and CRAVE should dig this one.
