Hailing from Tempe, Arizona, Jared and Michael Bell formed Lymbyc Systym late in 2001. Drawing inspiration from the groups Tortoise, Explosions in the Sky, and Four Tet, their compositions cleverly combine vintage keyboards, infectious melodies, analog effects, dynamic drumming, and intricate laptop programming to form melodic and cohesive tracks that blur the borders between post-rock, indie-rock, and the most organic electronic music.
Playing in support of The Album Leaf, Crystal Castles, Explosion In The Sky, and a slew of other national acts, and recently becoming a headlining road act in their own right, the brothers have developed a truly impressive live show. From their self-release debut EP, Carved by Glaciers, to their recent releases for Mush and split 7" with fellow instrumental upstarts This Will Destroy You, Lymbyc Systym have quickly etched out a place in the bustling underground music scene.

Formed in 2003, LITE’s cinematic sound combines math-rock power and precision with emotionally charged compositions. The band – Nobuyuki Takeda (guitar), Kozo Kusumoto (guitar), Jun Izawa (bass), Akinori Yamamoto (drums) – have risen to prominence over the course of a handful of releases and on the strength of their incendiary live show.
Although darker in parts to its predecessor, “Phantasia” runs the gamut from Crimson-esque jazz-rock to full-scale guitar assault as on “Contra” or the blistering opener “Ef” which has been re-recorded and reignited with the fury of its live rendition.
There are lighter moments too such as the shimmering pop of “Ghost Dance” or the beautiful, cello-driven “Sequel to the Letter”. And on “Infinite Mirror”, Nobuyuki and Kozo’s trademark dual-guitar lines intertwine over a hypnotic motorik groove that is easily one of the band’s most accessible moments yet.
Throughout, there are stories woven into these grooves; the sea-faring tragedy “Shinkai” and the melancholic “Solitude” illustrate the band’s increasing maturity as songwriters. With “Phantasia”, LITE is set to cement its reputation as one of the most exciting bands to have emerged from Japan in recent years.
Their latest EP “Illuminate” is scheduled to be released in July and it was co-produced and recorded by John McEntire (Tortoise).
