Iretsu

About Me

Residing in Portland Oregon,
Iretsu makes complex lullabies arranged around dynamical grooves.
Sonically spanning vice-pro-Kung-fu-cop-rock over to jazzy-dream-pop.
All members actively collaborate with performance groups
such as Fever and Hot Little Hands.
Iretsu is currently mixing their 3rd full length
with co-producer/engineer, Mike Jones.
"Iretsu's debut album was a great mind-blower,
a blasting little collection of playful art-pop gems.
New wave of and for the 2000s. -Håvard Oppøyen
"Iretsu is making journey music. On their new EP,
each of the three tracks takes numerous twists and turns,
going past the soft/loud formula into territory like
groovy-chaotic/lullaby-lament. This music,
more than simply presenting dichotomies,
is about traveling from one state of mind to another."
-Jacob Coleman

"Originally composed as the score for an
interactive (anti-)stage performance of the same name
by Fever Theater. Given that, and given Fever Theater's
tendency toward going over the top,
this accompaniment makes perfect sense.
Charging off in about 30 directions
in the course of its 21-song length.
Lounge? Yep. Prog-rock? Aplenty. Krautrock? Sure."
-Portland Mercury
