If Tracey Thorn sung with TOPS or Echo & the Bunnymen, the result might be this female band.

Produced by a winner of our 2015 list, Masahiro Araki from Remigai, this female indie pop trio from Nagoya makes anything from ambient synthesizer music to guitar rock with R&B flavor.

Playing minimal instruments, both guitarist and bassist sing main melody by turns. They don’t play fashionable J-Pop, but timeless melodies for anyone who is in solitary or has lost something precious.
