about

chihei hatakeyama accidentally saw their live show in tokyo.
The content of their lyrics was a song that sang about the hometown of hatakeyam, so he was deeply impressed.

The musicality was low-fi fork, somewhat like velvet underground.

ya mai mo is a low-fi fork rock band by Tayuki Sakyo, who is a guitar vocalist, and Tayu Kawakubo, who is a drum, focusing on guitar vocals.
Sometimes awkward, casual vocals echo between waves on tracks with mysterious weakness that are influenced by ambient and abstract hip hop.
The lyrics are cynical, sometimes straight, and carefully crafted stories. It unites with the sound, and it penetrates to the heart as it brings a small NO in the era of global capitalism.
The mix is done by Goony on the outside, and it's an addictive sound, such as the reverb processing of the guitar sound that reminds of "Sunday Morning" on velvet underground.
Mastering was done by ambient drone writer Chihei Hatakeyama.

ya mai moはギターヴォーカルを担当するニートたけしを中心にギターの佐京泰之、ドラムの川久保尊由によるローファイフォークロック・バンドです。
アンビエントやアブストラクトヒップホップに影響された不可思議な脱力感のあるトラックに、時に不格好で、さりげないヴォーカルが波間に漂うように響きます。
歌詞はシニカルに時にストレートに、丁寧に物語を紡ぎます。それはサウンドと一体になって、グローバル資本主義全盛の時代に、ささやかなNOを突きつけるように心に染み渡ります。
ミックスはのっぽのグーニーが担当し、velvet undergroundの「Sunday Morning」を思い出させるギターサウンドのリヴァーブ処理など、中毒性のあるサウンドに仕上がっています。
マスタリングはアンビエント・ドローン作家のChihei Hatakeyamaが担当しました。
