Tashaki Miyaki is a band of beauty and mystery
(CBS) - I need some excellent music right now and love a good mystery - the band Tashaki Miyaki gives me a bit of both at the same time. Check out their music video for "Somethin' Better Than Nothin'" above.
Tashaki Miyaki has a sound to them that is both very old and new at the same time, with a haunting beauty that fascinates me. Listening to their music brings to mind something of a mix of David Lynch and the Cowboy Junkies, but not because of a comparable look or style, but because of the emotional resonance of their unique sound.
And you're probably wondering why I mentioned something about a mystery in a very mysterious way and then kind of let it drop... well, the long and short of it is that little seems to be known about this band right now. I came across a track of theirs about a month or so ago and started looking into the band, only to find out I wasn't the first to do so, and a search comes up with more questions than answers.
They are based out of Los Angeles, have a BandCamp page and there are a few tracks floating around on the Internet, but that's about the extent of it. Not that I'm complaining in the least. I love what I've heard so far and am fascinated by the mystery, so will keep on doing the occasional search and let you all know and hear more as I come across it.
