For Damage / Yaryu

This is the LP "For Damage" (2024) by Noryu Yaryu.

Yaryu is a Japanese music collective that seamlessly blends diverse genres to create music that speaks to the emotions and spirit. Formed in 2022, the group aims to connect people with music in everyday spaces.

Yaryu is also committed to not only building a community, but also recording and sharing their activities. To date, he has recorded over seven sessions, with For Damage being his latest release.

This album is the perfect soundtrack for meditation and relaxation, and could even be music to help you survive the chaos of 2024.

"Yaryu helps people realize their ideas and perform them. Rather than focusing on someone standing out in terms of creativity or performance technique, we place importance on creating the optimal expression for the current members and performance environment. Even if you have a weak sense of rhythm or pitch, we provide an ensemble where you can enjoy and appreciate the sound itself. Participants have a variety of motivations, and the members involved in each project are constantly changing. Anyone who shares this philosophy can call themselves Yaryu. "

As the quote from founder Hyozo shows, Noryu is a group that values ​​pure enjoyment of music and the precious moments of a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Experience their philosophy through this LP, which combines not only ambient but also spiritual jazz and psychedelic elements. (Ammel)
