Released in 2016. No noticeable damage. Since forming in 2012, the band R N S T has been attracting attention through a wide range of live activities, not only in live spaces but also at outdoor festivals such as the underground techno rave "rural" and the genreless underground music festival "Hikyo-sai." Now, they are proudly announcing their full-length album "R N S T," featuring 12 tracks. This work, which serves as their calling card, is a masterpiece that digests elements of ambient, minimal, drone, and industrial music with a twisted pop sensibility. It features a minimal and tight guitar sound meticulously calculated with delay; a bass that handles a wide range of sound-making, including intense fuzz, Ebow techniques, and spatial effects; and an effective falsetto vocal along with a rhythm machine and sampler operated in real-time. Their unique personality and sense of balance create a one-of-a-kind soundscape. Listening to this album, you will experience their versatile, genre-bending musical absorption and expressive power. R N S T (written with a half-width space is the official notation) Formed in 2012. A three-piece band consisting of Gt.&Vo. Haru, Gt. Uchu, and Ba. Sanson. They have performed live in various scenes, from mini-lives in restaurants and live spaces to ambient sets and installations in galleries, as well as live houses, club events, and outdoor festivals. Based on ambient and minimal music, they use rhythm machines, samplers, vocoders, and other machines depending on the song. They have multifaceted songs, including in-tempo and out-tempo, instrumental and vocal, and improvisations to 60-minute long works, possessing both mass appeal and avant-garde qualities. In addition, Gt. Uchu is active as the guitarist for Kafka, and Ba. Sanson is also active as a support bassist for the twenties. In 2015, they steadily expanded their musical range, appearing at festivals such as rural and Hikyo-sai. They pursue a unique Japanese identity through meticulous construction and sound effects and are a one-of-a-kind band.
