Stars of Spotify playlist’ RADAR: Early Noise Japan 2022′, breakthrough 3-piece band ego apartment release first full album
Made up of three members born in 1998, ego apartment is a three-piece band based in Japan. They switch freely between two vocalists with different styles and lyrics in Japanese and English, producing an alternative sound that feels both analog and brand new.
The band has quickly become a hot topic, being featured on numerous curated playlists both in Japan and overseas, and they are considered an act ahead of the times. For example, their track’ FOG’ was included on Spotify’s ‘RADAR: Early Noise Japan 2022’ playlist, a selection of artists from Japan who are expected to turn heads in 2022.
In addition, their September release ‘Wrong with u’ has generated over 1 million plays on Spotify, cementing their reputation as a band with a bright future. Following the success of the May 18 release of ‘FOG,’ their first full album’ EGO APARTMENT’ was released on June 1.
The album contains 14 songs steeped in ego apartment’s unmistakable bedroom alternative sound, and it’s no exaggeration to say that every one of them is strong enough to be a lead track.
Comment from ego apartment
We began writing these songs before deciding on a particular theme for the album, so in that sense, you could say that this is a sound that we could only express at this point. This is our first album, but it won’t be the last. See you on the next production.
