Instrumental in nature, with an intense and well-crafted wall of sound which dramatically rises and falls on a dime, Sora Shima are by no means at a loss from lack of vocals. Destroy Electronica, the 3rd opus from the Hamilton based band reins in the ferocious nature of their previous releases to craft a solid and intense soundtrack – as harmonic as it is chaotic.
In the vein of artists such as Mogwai and Sigur Ros, those looking for an audible fix will not be disappointed to find that Sora Shima’s live performance really hits the spot. Relax, take it all in, and let your eyes roll back into your head to the transcendent sound of Sora Shima. (95bFM)

Some I'm reading though the comments from the past and I see yours! Don't take my non-reply as intentional either! Let's do something for sure. Throw some emails around and see what happens.
far out! i dig my official title, man. (: ohhh, you should try to aim for coachella! some of the most amazing bands/performers of all time have played at coachella. and it just wouldn't be right if sora shima wasn't on the band lineup. but i definitely agree with the hounding of indie labels. you guys deserve to be signed. anyway, cannot wait for your new material. goodluck, fellas! (:
happy new years eve, fellas! i'll begin trying to win the lottery so i can bring you to california to play. :) i want to spread the joy that is your musique.
sometimes i was desperate searching a emergency exit in this world i want to escape from life and leave my skeleton alone and lifeless later return to life and turns to die with the mystery from my head's universe cold notes knocking my door, thanks for the invite the cold music is delicious greetings
Hey fullahs, how was the Mono gig? Gutted i couldnt go, got too many gigs to go to??!! Not a bad thing i guess :) Love the new songs, when u playing Aucks next?? Lots of posty rocky love
