Ichimenshika Shiranai

"From a room in a certain city, I looked out at the world, drifting back and forth across the sea of emotions, and this song was born. Influences from musicians like Akiko Yano, Kirinji, and Ringo Sheena are evident in this new track from 'OWC' , a singer-songwriter based in Kagoshima. Their new song 'ichimenshika Shiranai' will be released for streaming on September 4, 2024, under the Natural Foundation label, Situation.Kagoshima / NF Recordings. Next release: 'Gotta Watch TV!?' scheduled for early October."

"OWC's first EP, 'My Life,' which was self-released in February of this year, attracted attention among early adopters and subculture fans for its unique songs, described as 'subtly void boredom-pop' and 'introverted city pop.' Additionally, the lo-fi pop music video, directed by OWC themself, with its mix of nonsense and venom, added to the buzz around the artist.

Amid this buzz, I received an email. Yes, a message from none other than the very person behind the hype OWC. In the email, they wrote, 'Since childhood, I've listened to jazz, bossa nova, and rock at home, studied classical and jazz piano, and while I love the sound of many songs, I often felt the lyrics didn't quite resonate with me. That's why I started creating the music I want to hear, born from "my own life." Attached to the email were several tracks. 'Only Know One Side' was one of them. After checking the profile and listening to the tracks, we decided to release it immediately.

This marks OWC's current position in 2024, where sensitivity meets intellect. The jagged blend of pop, sophistication, and venom quickly turned into 'addictive music.' I believe they are a talent with a promising future."
