Anoice 2nd album "Out of Season" and 3rd album "Ruined-Hotel Sessions" out now !
You can get this 3rd album free if you buy 3 CDs or more on Ricco Label web-store.
Anoice pronounced “a noyce” is a Tokyo based six piece group that have been working together since 2004. They have released the highly acclaimed album “Remmings” have a dreamy and dynamic compositional world that falls somewhere between easy electronic rock and Harold Budd flavored ambient avant composition on the Important Label. The members of the band - Takahiro Kido (Guitar + Programming + Piano + Glockenspiel + Organ + Melodion) + Taku Tanioka ( Guitar + Mandolin) + Yuki Murata (Piano + Synthesizer + Programming + Glockenspiel + Melodion) + Utaka Fujiwara ( Viola + Synthesizer + Programming + Piano) + Takahiro Matsue (Bass + Programming + Tenor Sax + Accordion) + Tadashi Yoshikawa (Drums + Percussion + Accordion + Glockenspiel) - cite a mixture of rock & electronic influences (Radiohead + Sigur Ros + The Clash) and compositional music (Arvo Part + Claude Debussy + John Williams + Shostakovich). Takahiro Kido has released five solo albums (a Short Happy Life + Krageneidechse + Walking in the Rhythm + in my Time + Fleursy Music) from PLOP and Ricco Label, and Yuki Murata has two solo albums (Films + Home) on Ricco Label. In addition, Takahiro Kido and Takahiro Matsue and Tadashi Yoshikawa formed a three piece band “mokyow” after desire to make freer music with the expanse more on 2007. They released their first album “Variations for Spiegel” from Ricco Label. Furthermore, Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata released “re-Silence” under the name of “cru” a unit with piano, organ and electronics on 2007. Anoice will be releasing their 2nd album “Out of Season” and 3rd album “Ruined-Hotel Sessions” on July 2008.
With guitars, bass, viola, keyboards and drums, the six Anoice succeed to
create incredible atmospheres between Sigur Ros, Arvo part and Rachel's.
"Rockerilla"
Even when all of them are going at it hammer and tongs they act more like an
orchestra with each player adding their own element to the melody. Anoice hit
all the blissful and joyous emotions and only rarely dip into melancholy like
most bands of the same ilk.
"Brainwashed"
Anoice have produced something entirely different and original, a mature record
of great beauty and attention to detail that rises above any clichés and should by
all accounts establish them as one of the leading artists today.
"Rockarolla"
I was sold this record on the promise that Anoice are “like Rachel’s…but they rock…”
But isn’t that Godspeed? Well, no because whereas Godspeed dangle you worringly
over a cliff for the duration of an album, Anoice frequently drop you, pick you up again
and occasionally even make you float. What’s more, there’s often more of a rhythmic
framework here. The bass isn’t afraid to groove, the drums do ‘Bolero’ behind the
cascades of passionate viola and hammered piano. Anoice, in fact, are as adept at
approaching the rock/classical thing from the rock end as the classical end, which gives
them more than one string to their bow and potentially makes for some celestial live performances.
In places, they sound like an instrumental Arcade Fire. In others – particularly the incredibly
beautiful tracks 5 - 8 – they sound as good as any living film composer worth his salt.
If track 6 (Liange) doesn’t astound you, you are a glacier.
There’s a readymade market for evocative, anthemic, cinematic stuff like this, of course, be
it on the bill of All Tomorrow’s Parties or soundtracking some intense French film noir,
with Emanuelle Beart running down the steps of la Basilique du Sacre Coeur in torrential
rain. Even so, Anoice have that something special that could elevate them even beyond that.
This is not a group, as such. These people are modern composers.
