T Y: Tokyo, Japan.

T Y, the Tokyo-based psychedelic quartet, has announced their debut record Stray Birds From the Far Easta dreamy, pop-infused psych/acid rock concept album about nostalgia for a place yet to be discovered.

The T Y sound is simultaneously unique yet familiarbut its also moving. Our psychedelic sound is at times violent and at times naive, says vocalist and guitarist Masami Makinom, but we also believe our sound is meant to awaken the most primitive senses in order to sublimatethe rise of the soul and its uncontrollable impulses.

T Y is an ambitious band with an ambitious vision, so its no surprise some of their biggest influences are known for complex, groundbreaking visions; Far East Family Band, J. A. Seazer, Flower Travellin' Band, Kikagaku Moyo, YU Grupa, Ali Farka Tour, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Goat all show up in the list of the bands most important influences.
