■ flexlife
Acoustic unit of Ken Okura (G) and Rie Aoki (Vo).
CD debut in 2000. From the inclination to black music,
To a simple form with only guitar and singing.
He has a good reputation for live performances, and will be the opening act for Speech (Arresterd Development)'s performance in Japan.
The 1st album "Soreiyu" was selected as one of the top 10 of the year by music critic Kentaro Takahashi.
It has been described as a masterpiece where a singer-songwriter meets black music in the 2000s.
A long-seller mainly in Village Vanguard.
5 original albums, live version, Indigo Jam Unit/Hiromi Ota/Choro Club
Miyuki Hatakeyama / 1311 / Womou to Ohana etc. Also produced music for commercials.
The latest work “Wild Cat Blues” is the first full-length album after moving the base from Tokyo to Kumamoto.
Performed by Indigo Jam Unit. Produced by a unique recording method with only two microphones.
A soft atmosphere with humor and noh weather in the delicacy. folky work.
Among them, "Runaway" with 3.11 as the theme
The response was such as the power play of the radio and the special feature article in the newspaper.
【Members' Comments】
The new self cover has a recent acoustic feel and was explored in the early work
I think we were able to fuse the warm tracks together.
It also includes a singing voice.
I made it at home surrounded by mountains, so I can hear insects.
Normally, you should be doing a pretty good live, so...
Both self-covers and early sound sources. if something gets stuck
I would be very happy if you could visit the venue.
Thank you in the future. flex life
