Gaijin Blues

A 2 track electronic ep (11m 40s) — released January 25th 2019 on Shapes of Rhythm

Gaijin Blues is Naphta and band mate PlaystationYoga Music's tribute to Japanese pop culture, manga and video games. This EP is the result of tours to different regions of Japan and spending time in record shops, as well as playing classic RPGs. Gaijin Blues is a blend between Japanese and Western music with live studio instruments. It's a feeling, an expression and a time and space vehicle.

DJ support from Nemone, Esa, Carista, Errol Andwot, Mr Scruff, Gilla, LDLDN, Olivier Cavallier, Julien LeBrun and more.

Secret of Mana explores live percussion and bass with strings, live flute and dreamy vocals.

Guardia Castle opens with a 4/4 disco beat before introducing unexpected layers of blissful, melodic female vocals, acoustic guitars and flutes.
