"Black Boboi's first album in five years, Sepia, is an alternative pop record that traverses trip-hop, techno, and ambient textures. The album was inspired by a fictional apocalyptic novel composed through a series of "correspondence letters" exchanged between the three members.
Upon finishing the final track, the listener is left with a profound sense of weight-much like the lingering feeling after watching a cinematic masterpiece-evoked by its free-form sonic imagery and lyrical world.
In a modern society radically transformed by technological innovation, where the traditional "givens" of ethics and morality no longer seem to apply, the expression Black Boboi releases today embraces the nostalgic (=Sepia) while simultaneously questioning how we will confront the future."
Formed in June 2018 by Julia Shortreed, Utena Kobayashi, and ermhoi following the launch of the music community label, BINDIVIDUAL. The trio released their debut mini-album Agate in January 2019, followed by a performance on the Red Marquee stage at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL '19 in August of the same year. In November 2020, they released their first full-length album, SILK. More recently, they performed at MUTEK.JP in 2023 and marked their first overseas appearance with a performance in Berlin in 2024.
