About the Band

NANOX

Angular, organ-powered new wave in the style of DEVO, spearheading the Tokyo neo wave scene; keyboardist O.Eric, a cohort of the Chicago based Modernist Society, had a hand in the production and release of their four-way splitNeo Wave Nastros. A follow up 7" single came out on Shit Sandwich Records as well as a second CD single on Modernist. In recent times, NANOX has successfully toured Japan and also played a memorable gig opening up for power pop legends FAST CARS.

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

Another great set of dazzling retro 80's tunes from the front runners of the Tokyo neo wave. "RE: Joy-Love" is a fast-paced intro with a punk backbeat, surfy riffs and delightful synth sounds. The melodic "Esca La Tion" keeps the mood carefree while "BA. SA. RA" turns a little more experimental with jagged DEVO-esque rhythms, quirks and pops. "Ni Hao" delves deeper into 80's dance with addictive video game soundscapes and electro tempos. These tracks remind the listener why NANOX have become appreciated among the new wave chic of Japan and punks alike.
