The wonderfully named Kevin, are a three-piece band formed in Osaka, Japan in 2017. The line-up at the time of recording/releasing this debut album Aftermath consisted of Hayato Izawa (vocal), Yutaro Umemoto (guitar), and Yuichi Umemoto (drums). The band has been influenced by psychedelic rock, krautrock, folk music, and free jazz. But Kevin is less full-on psych rock than some of their Japanese contemporaries (and new label mates) like Acid Mothers Temple, Mainliner, and Hibushibire. The strong krautrock influence is more prominent in their unique sound. Taking influence from the likes of Can and This Heat, their sound was initially based on noise music. Nowadays, they are minimizing their equipment and developing their own music with a groovy, delicate and devastating band sound. In 2019, the band successfully performed their first show abroad, in Taiwan, and with the worldwide release of Aftermath now via Riot Season records they intend to travel and play far and wide (when rules allow). Transparent green vinyl; includes download code; edition of 300.
