Kamupanerura is composed of four members, bringing together a fusion of bass, guitar, drums, vocals and programming. The group are based in the Japanese city of Kobe and their music takes root in the indie electronic scene of the country, harbouring a unique kind of sensitivity that seems run through the community of producers in Japan.
Their style has generally run along lines of experimental post rock, influenced by music created for cinema and incorporating electronica into their work to soften the organic edge to their music, replacing it with an infusion of something more dreamlike and melodic.
Their discography has been growing steadily; as has the attention they’ve been receiving both in their home country and overseas, with review sites in both Europe and the US taking note of their carefully put together sound. In particular Kamupanerura’s 3rd album ‘Balloons’ contained tracks which attracted acclaim, two of which were nominated for YouTube’s official music playlist in Japan.
Though Balloons is the bands most recent album, our featured track is from a little earlier on in the group’s history. ‘Teo’ is a track that manages to encapsulate Kamupanerura‘s favoured approach fairly succinctly, with meticulous guitar, delicate drum beats and a daydream electronic twist.
