   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

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! (:

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
