Well-loved Japanese indie trio The Wisely Brothers have returned with their new single, ‘Two Minutes’. They’ve captured an impressive, melody-driven sound that feels connected to the indie greats of the 90s - Pavement, The Velvet Underground, The Pastels. Jagged guitars and a driving rhythm section are combined into something that feels both edgy and minimalistic. At the same time, the tracks nods towards Japanese culture and the belief that seeing a spider in the morning brings good luck. The Wisely Brothers have established themselves as one of the finest bands in the Japanese indie scene, and for good reason. They’re touring the UK this November. -Dan Peeke.
