Downt, a band that continues to expand across genre boundaries with a presence that no longer needs categorisation, is finally set to release its first full-length album in 2024! Through energetic live performances and collaborations with overseas artists, the band world-standard band sound is now here, further deepening and updating the new innovations shown in their epic work 13月!
Since its formation in 2021, downt has been active mainly in the Tokyo live scene, and has quickly become a hot presence in the emo and alternative live house scene, releasing "SAKANA e.p." and appearing at the "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 22", "ROOKIE A GO-GO", and the worldwide release of the compilation record "Anthology" from UK label Dog Knights (which sold out immediately). The band also performed at major circuits such as SYNCHRONICITY and MINAMI WHEEL, and collaborated with many international artists such as Gestalt Girl (Taiwan), Grrrl Gang (Indonesia), Pswingset (US), deathcrash (UK) and many others. The year 2023 saw the release of the epic "13月", which showed a new direction for the band, and a further expansion of their activities. Their long-awaited full album, which has been steadily raising the stage with the years, will finally be released in March 2024.
The new album includes the epic single "13月", which is over eight minutes long and gives a sense of new innovation and certainty as a band with fragility and unshakable power, as well as new songs that show the band new stage as it heads towards the end of its career. The album will also include newly recorded songs from their first album "downt", such as "111511", "mizu ni naru" and "AM4:50", which have already been standard live favourites. With their long-awaited full-length album, the band first, they are set to hit the music scene in Japan and around the world!
