Artist Profile
PALESSFormed in 2009 by Ryohei Otsuki, the band later welcomed Kahori and Yuki Kasugatani, arriving at its current lineup.
Based mainly in Tokyo, their activities are now focused on producing and releasing music from their own studio, with live performances kept to a minimum.
In their early years, they constructed patchwork-like soundscapes using programs within keyboards, layering them with delays and noise through effects to pursue both overwhelming volume and moments of stillness. Their music was highly experimental, incorporating unconventional sounds such as bells attached to tree branches or umbrellas, combined with vocals.
From their 2020 releases onward, while retaining their original experimental approach, elements of rhythm and more accessible song structures have been introduced, significantly expanding the scope of their expression.
