Nagoya kei band CROW-SIS, active between 1993-1996, will release an album of old songs that they either only played live back in the day or just released on very limited demo tapes towards the end of their activity. The material will be released on digital platforms in Winter 2021, and on CD in 2022.

The cover art and the track order is not decided yet, but here you can already sample the songs:

I’m pretty speechless, good to see an old band releasing something like this. It even sounds quite nice so far! Curious to find out more details in the future and eventually hear the whole thing. :slight_smile:

They made a music video a while back for one of the songs (that I didn’t catch at the time, oops).

Pretty nice tune! ♪

edit: Actually they made promo videos for all the tracks (some of them are short versions I guess), they can be accessed via their website!

The band will release the CD version of the album on 2022/12/24 with a slightly different tracklist and song order (there will be one new song that wasn’t featured on the digital version). Furthermore, the mixing and mastering of this new edition will be done by Takayuki Sasaki from Studio MUTEC who was essential in the sound production of the '90s Nagoya kei indies scene.

The new tracklist:

  1. ゴルゴダの丘
  2. Missing
  3. LONELY VIEW
  4. AD～Approval Desire～
  5. NERVOUS
  6. 交わりと言う名の遊戯
  7. IDIOT
  8. LADY
  9. Rainy D
  10. What you have now～今・・あるものを～

edit: Almost forgot, those who preorder the album through the link on the website will receive an exclusive downloadable song that did not make it onto the CD once the order is shipped out.
