Tõ Yõ

Tõ Yõ’s sound is an ambitious blend of often unpredictable sounds. On their 2023 album Stray Birds From the Far East, you can hear psychedelic ’70s sounds mixed with traditional Japanese folk music, Mediterranean hints, and danceable rhythms. Perfect for fans of contemporary acts like Goat and Kikagaku Moyo.

Tõ Yõ sounds like something you’ve heard before: familiar, yet uniquely contemporary. And that’s what’s touching about it. Lead singer and guitarist Masami Makino describes their psychedelic sound as “sometimes violent and sometimes naive.” Designed to stimulate your senses and elevate the soul with its irresistible impulses.
