PROFILE
向井秀徳 (SHUTOKU MUKAI)
LEO 今井 (LEO IMAI)
Kimonos was formed in 2010 by Leo Imai and Shutoku Mukai from Zazen Boys.
Their music is a blend of vintage synths, post-punk riffs, heavy beats, and folk lyricism.
Both cold and passionate, both stoical and decadent, both futuristic and nostalgic, their debut album is a fitting soundtrack to the manic intensity of Tokyo City.
Drummer Greg Saunier from Deerhoof and bassist Ichiro Yoshida from Zazen Boys also make ripping guest appearances on the record.
