For Damage / Yaryu

"For Damage" (2024) LP 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, Yaryu 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, or just music to get you through 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 best possible expression for the members and performance environment at the time. 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 also fluid. Anyone who sympathizes with this philosophy can call themselves Yaryu. "

As the quote from founder Hyozo says, Noryu is a band that values the pure enjoyment of music and the precious moments of encounters. Experience their philosophy with this LP, which combines not only ambient but also spiritual jazz and psychedelic elements (Ammel).
