Seventeen Years Old And Berlin Wall (originally
17Ürñ╚Ñ┘ÑδÑΩÑ≤ñ╬▒┌ - also stylized as SBW), is one of
the greatest recent shoegazing exports from the eastern
part of the world. The band based in Tokyo, Japan, have
been around since 2013, and have released three notable
EPs between 2015 and 2018 which they are about to follow
with a fourth one. The six-song release, Abstract, comes
out on August 5th, 2020, and it's introduced by its
opening number, No Paradise.
Not very far from the sound that established them as a
bright and hopeful fresh act, the new song finds the
band in great shape, and shows their intent to
experiment a bit more with a style of instrumentation
where synths are included in a more prominent manner. No
Paradise also exhibits a sense of audacity in regard to
the mixing which feels well composed and finely
textured, while the soft vocals and the overall euphony
comprise a quintessentially appealing dreampop piece.
The band's lineup includes Yusei Tsuruta (guitar,
vocals) who started SBW back in 2013, as well as Eriko
Takano (bass, vocals), Takuji Yoshida (guitar) and
Junichiro Miyazawa (drums).
