   About SORA SHIMA

Facebook - Sora Shima

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)

We *heart* Japan

Die! Die! Die!

1 - Here Be Dragons - 9:06

Haha, I love his movies.
They take me away to another place.

You know there was this one day where I just felt like shit..
My cat had been ran over, finals were piling up and it was just sucky.

But a couple moments of listening to your guys music helped me focus and calm down.
That's why I added the myspace.

Plus Nessa is completely crazy about your music. So she kind of intrigued me to it.

Haha can you even use that word like that?
