Биография

Formed in Tokyo in 2015. The band consists of four members: Shun Ikegai, Miru Shinoda, Kazuya Oi, and Kento Yamada. Combining fragile lyrics with dark soundscapes, yahyel paints potent portraits of real life in Tokyo, peppered with both dystopian imagery and blistering honesty. Their music is described as “Dystopian Pop”. After a European tour that included a stop at ROUGH TRADE and an appearance on the Fuji Rock Festival in 2016, the band released their debut album "Flesh and Blood" in November. In 2017, they performed on the main stage at Fuji Rock Festival, and supported artists such as Warpaint, Mount Kimbie, and alt-J on their Japan tour. In March 2018, they released their second album, "Human”. Immediately after that, they appeared at SXSW, and went on to perform at festivals in France,Korea and China. in 2019 they once again performed at SXSW, where they were featured in numerous international media outlets, including NPR and CRASH Magazine. After their live concert in 2020, held in the midst of a pandemic, yahyel suddenly entered a period of silence, and is now repeating the secret embryonic movement into a new phase, as if in response to the world of 2023, which is about to rise from the euphoria of incitement and chaos.
