Nibi will release the EP "Membrane" on July 31, 2024.
It is a work containing 6 songs including 3 pre-release singles.
This work, which began production in 2022, is inspired by the consistent image of "Membrane" and is a work that asks the listener to constantly think from the past to the present, and from the present to the future, while keeping in mind an introspective perspective on the environment surrounding oneself, mental health, and outlook on life.
The musicality of each song, woven from the diverse musical knowledge of Omura Tomoya, who is mainly in charge of composition and arrangement, is rich and wide-ranging, while Norie Takahashi's transparent and core vocals and introspective lyrics increase the resolution as pop music, making it a work that is worth listening to throughout the entire song as a work composed under a consistent theme. A release party will be held at the atelier and gallery "Koen" based in Nakameguro on August 31, 2024. This will be Nibi's first independently-produced event and her first live performance.
Nibi is an electronic music unit formed by vocalist Norie Takahashi and composer Tomoya Omura. The two artists, who had been building their careers as a singer-songwriter and a film composer respectively, began collaborating during the pandemic and officially formed the project in 2020. Rooted in club music, Nibi creates electronic soundscapes built through a genre-crossing, experimental approach. Their music blends meticulously constructed production with Takahashi's vocals-both transparent and powerful-and introspective lyrics, exploring emotional fluctuations and the depths of the inner self while shaping a distinct sonic world. After passing the live audition "RINGOO A GO-GO" they performed at Ringo Music Festival 2025 in September. Their immersive live performances-where introspective lyrics meet sounds that sink deep into the body-have been gaining recognition not only within the music scene but also in art spaces such as galleries in Tokyo.
