EASTOKLAB

EASTOKLAB

This Nagoya-based rock band formed in 2018. They use various arrangement styles, including electro-funk, shoegaze, dream pop, minimal music, bass music, alternative, and rock to produce a sound that cannot be defined by one category or genre. Their free and easy vocals and beautiful soundscape have earned them recognition as the Japanese Coldplay. While they use a variety of equipment during their live performances, they have eliminated any synchronization devices or loop stations to pursue an entirely human-crafted approach. EASTOKLAB made their debut on June 5, 2019 with a self-titled mini album on the DAIZAWA RECORDS/U.K. PROJECT label. The following year they found themselves in the spotlight for their digital mini album "Fake Planets," released on June 3, 2020. Originally, the album was only available digitally, but due to popular demand, a special physical album was also released with a choice of seven different jacket colors and available for purchase only at concert venues and a handful of record stores. An e-mail snowballed into a collaboration with ANIMAL HACK and the release of the digital single, "ICE RED" on November 11, 2020. In 2021, in conjunction with the band polly, they released the split album "Twin." On November 10, 2021, they released their first single-artist album in a year and a half, the digital mini album, "Ai." A remix album, "Ai - Beside Remix" is set for release on January 19, 2022.
