Formed as high school teens in 2010, Tokyo-based alternative/indie-pop trio The Wisely Brothers have firmly established themselves as one of the most exciting acts on the Japanese indie scene. Their sound is one of 90s- tinged nostalgia, awash with jangly guitar riffs, expansive melancholic melodies, and beautiful vocal harmonies (with all three members singing). For fans of The Pastels, Pavement, Yo La Tango, The Velvet Underground and Marine Girls.
In November, The Wisely Brothers will play their first ever UK live dates, and ahead of their visit they release brand new Think Wisely EP on 12th October, proceeded by lead single ‘Two Minutes’ out today, described by The Wisely Brothers as “Fun and unique aerobic-eques music, serious but also comical and strange.”
‘Two Minutes’ nods to Japanese culture, inspired by the belief that seeing a spider in the morning brings good luck. The single originally began as two separate song ideas, merged into one in the studio with the help of recording engineer Mr Hiroshi Ikeda at HMRC Studio, with the weird chop and edit intro sound a lip vibration emitted by bassist Izumi and kept in the mix.
The Wisely Brothers have previously released the Family Mini Album (2014), debut album YAK (2018) and sophomore album Captain Sad (2019), both released via major label Nippon Columbia, and the AGLIO OLIO EP (2021, FRIENDSHIP), with acclaim garnered from lead Japanese music media such as Rockin'On Japan, Mikiki, Natalie and Barks, amongst many others.
