One of TMR’s favourite current artists Japan, Man, has dropped their latest cut, ‘Nowhere To Hide’. The track is designed to navigate the intensity of emotions, with unique sounds and cathartic melodies at its forefront. “In the midst of big and frightening emotions I think people, including myself, get tied up in the illusion that they are alone in the process of feeling these things, and that no one in the world could ever understand,” they explain. “Through the song I also want to emphasize the panic of being unable to escape negative emotions, and being trapped inside a feeling, routine, or bad habit.” Despite the depth of the track’s message, Japan, Man makes sure their unmistakable groovy, funk-laden bass lines remain a core part of their sound. Keep an eye out for more over the course of 2023. -Dan Peeke
