Numazu have recently made their debut on Rope Swing Cities with a collection of beautiful and hypnotic music for your soul. The sixteen tracks run the gamut of sound from minimal soundscapes and field recordings, to post-rock interludes and dreamy jazz jams.
Numazu is comprised mainly of Kirill Nikolai and Derrick Hart, as the masterminds of the experiment they have surrounded themselves with a wealth of talented guest artists (Justin Robert, Haruki, Mariko Sugawara, Jay Demko, Kate Morris & Joey Halter.), who help to round out the sound of the band. Alternately contemplative and dissonant, the album holds the listeners interest through each subsequent listen, as new sounds, voices and melodies creep out of the musical ether, creating a forest of sound, ripe for exploration.
