(Indie rock, Post-punk revival, Dream pop) Made in Japan - Tame All Those Thoughts - 2013, MP3, 320 kbps

Made in Japan were an Australian indie rock band formed in 2009 by James Cooney on vocals and drums, Tom Davis on guitar, Jono Graham on guitar and Andrew Knox on bass guitar. Their sound was self-described as "dream-pop" and "groove based."[1] It evolved from straightforward post-punk revival in their early releases to incorporate an ethereal shoegaze aesthetic. They released two studio albums, Sights and Sounds (February 2012) and Tame All Those Thoughts (November 2013), before disbanding in 2014.

Sydney four-piece Made in Japan first made their highly melodic and pop-drenched take on indie rock known with last year’s Sights and Sounds. The band have returned with their sophomore effort, Tame All Those Thoughts and are offering Music Feeds readers the exclusive opportunity for a first listen before its release this Friday.
The new album is a statement of intent for this poised and ambitious Aussie group. Said vocalist and drummer James Cooney: “After the first album we were really clear with where we wanted to go with this one and just headed straight back into the studio.”
Ignoring the ‘sequel anxiety’ that strikes most bands as they enter the studio for their second album, Cooney added that the band “really took [their] time crafting this one, and it shows.” This new collection of lush and introspective dream pop has already yielded the single, History, the new video for which is also premiering below.
