Still
Breathing
Ah
No
Wait
Pieces of yesterday
Fall through my hands
Broken rhythms
Broken names
Broken skies
Still we play
Still we breathe
Again
Again
Again
Break it
Break it
Break—
Break—
No—
No—
Sing
Don't sing
Laugh
Cry
Breathe
Stop
Breathe
Every trumpet
Finds another answer
Every saxophone
Forgets the question
Every heartbeat
Changes time
Nothing stays
Nothing stays
Nothing
Ah—
Ha—
No—
La—
Mm—
Still
Still
Still
When the walls begin to disappear
Only echoes remain
When every melody is gone
The silence starts to sing
Raise every broken voice
Raise every broken hand
Tonight
We leave no note behind
No dream behind
No soul behind
When the lights grow small
When the last horn fades
When tomorrow calls
We'll still remember
We'll still sing
We'll still breathe

Order exists to conceal chaos.
Imajuku Detective Agency presents its latest album:
"CONTROLLED CHAOS"
Classic big band swing, hard bop, noir, electric jazz, and an increasingly unstable world of odd meters, sudden modulations and avant-garde experimentation.
Across these ten tracks, the Agency is not investigating a single case.
It is pursuing one question:
How far can music be broken before it stops being a groove?
The investigation begins with tightly controlled ensemble playing, but gradually, everything starts to shift.
The saxophones run.
The brass gives chase.
The piano betrays the harmony.
The bass destabilizes the meter, while the drums begin rearranging time itself.
A beautiful melody appears-
only to shatter moments later.
4/4 becomes 7/8.
5/4 crashes into 11/8.
Unexpected modulations, polyrhythms, false endings and sudden silence tear through the arrangements.
And yet the groove refuses to disappear.
In the album's final stretch, "Midnight Bird" restores the thrill of relentless swing before "Broken Flight" destroys its trajectory. "Honey Trap" lures the band back into something sweet, dangerous and irresistible-only for "Broken Honey" to smash even that trap beyond recognition.
At times, every musician seems to be running in a different direction.
Then comes the final hit.
Everyone lands together.
Perfectly.
It was never an accident.
Even the chaos was calculated.
CONTROLLED CHAOS
Built to be broken.
Sharpened to collapse.
A record of controlled chaos, documented by Imajuku Detective Agency.
Artist Profile
Imayuku Detective Agency
Imayuku Detective Agency A collective that traces the boundary between urban noise and silence. Rooted in big band jazz, their sound fuses the raw energy of rock, the bounce of ska-funk, and the experimental edge of modern jazz. Centered around a powerful horn section trumpets, saxophones, and trombone their rhythm section drives everything forward with an aggressive, commanding groove. Their music is more than instrumental. Fragmented riffs, sudden silences, and near-collapsing ensembles are presented like pieces of a case, only to align into brief moments of perfect unison. On stage, improvisation collides with structure, ensuring that no performance is ever the same. Imajuku Detective Unit does not simply play music. They document an electric sense of unease hidden within the city.
