A Japanese quartet from the late 90s and possibly early 2000s, performing what sounds like a modernized version of Slapp Happy's avant-pop sound. Information on them (at least in English) seems to be very hard to acquire. http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/harpy" rel="nofollow - RateYourMusic lists them as having six studio albums on their name (two of which don't have a track listing or even a cover) while http://www.discogs.com/artist/387056-Harpy-2" rel="nofollow - Discogs only lists three (only two of which were on a label [from France, for some reason]) along with one blurry photo. The individual songs are usually very short and the band crammed about 20 or 30 of them on each album, so you'll have to forgive me for not listing all of them here. The former drummer and lead composer (possibly band leader?) Itoken released http://harpyitoken.bandcamp.com/album/mimi-festival-1997" rel="nofollow - an album of live material by the band just last month. LINE-UP: - "Kyoko" - vocals - "Suzuki" / "Zukky" - guitar - Tetsu Ono - piano - "Itoken" (Kenji Ito) - drums |

On bandcamp there's a lot of single tracks from Itoko. It's like he' sthe only one currently actively releasing stuff. I'm on a laptop without external speakers and I haven't listened to any track yet. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |
