Mayumi is a London-based musician who was born in Japan. Originally trained as a classical pianist, she sings and plays all the instruments (guitars/bass/drum machine) for her songs.
Her music has been described as atmospheric, noisy guitar pop with a space edge. 06 ’Myriad Luminescent’ EP was released after a long break but the initial copies sold out.
Recorded at Eden Studios, London, in just a few hours using the old school analogue method, the new single CobaltBlueLight is her attempt to create a ’new feeling’ - it’s powerfully fragile, extremely hauting, and even catchy.
Other tracks are no B-sides in fact -. ’Only A Dream’ is a romantic rock psychedelia driven by a dance beat. ’Sunshine Inside’ is an aural firework with a languid feel, and ’Sebastian’ is an uplifting, straightfoward guitar-pop.
