Cocoa Futures premiere new track ‘Bee’ on Clash and announce EP launch show

Lost In The Manor aces Cocoa Futures have unveiled new track ‘Bee’, a bright electro-edged indie follow up to ‘The Blue’, and another from their ‘The Blue’ EP, out on 2 December. Clash magazine were first in line to share the tune, calling it “an acerbic, offbeat pop jammer”, and we’re inclined to agree. The band will be launching the EP with a gig at the Sebright Arms in east London on Saturday 3 December.

About The fin.
“At the end of the day, we just want to be seen as borderless.” Yuto Uchino.
Hailing from the vibrant Japanese port city of Kobe, The fin. are a reputed and singular attraction in their homeland due to their stylish Europhile blend of synth-pop, chillwave and dream-pop, complete with English lyrics addressing universal themes of everyday uncertainties. Often referenced alongside the likes of Beach House, Phoenix, Metronomy and M83, the quartet have, since forming in 2012, performed before thousands of rapturous fans at major Japanese festivals including Fuji Rock, Rising Sun and Viva La Rock. Not content with such acclaim in one country alone, Yuto Uchino (vocals and synths), Ryosuke Odagaki (guitar), Takayasu Taguchi (bass) and Kaoru Nakazawa (drums) set their sights worldwide and in 2015 embarked on a major tour of the US, which included a performance at SXSW, before making their first forays into Britain with a handful of dazzling shows in support of their debut UK EP, ‘Night Time’. Their much-anticipated return to these shores this spring comes in the wake of a second British release and a growing recognition that there’s an act of rare, sophisticated beauty creating a big noise in the East. It’s time to turn your gaze to The fin.
