DOTE

the za

解く荷物 絵描きの苦痛

口ずさむ沈黙と 手と手の工夫

熱が通る 肌が触れずに

香る 静と動

シミが濃く膿んで成る

身が奮う

はにかみ座っていた

あそこは彼の宇宙

君は Gone and tuned

君と Gone and tuned

かいた寝息の

まにまにクラっていた

あの日にまだ夢中

彼方へ Drowse and doze

そのまま Drowse and doze

また Morning call

きっとこのまま忘れ

人混みに流れてくの

裸になる恐れが

今更湧くこの頃に

熱が通る

肌が触れた

香る 生 鼓動

シミが濃く膿んで成る

気が狂う

はにかみ座っていた

あそこは彼の宇宙

君は Gone and tuned

君と Gone and tuned

かいた寝息の

まにまに火照っていた

あの日の真鍮

君へ La La La La La La La

LOVING CALL!

    DOTE

    the za

Formed in Hakodate, Hokkaido, the band theza releases their first EP, "impact", shaking up the scene with a presence all their own.
The EP features seven tracks - "Intoro" "warapiko" "Imp" "Don't stop, youknow" "DO NOT RUSH" "mejika no samba" and "DOTE" - each carrying a distinct impulse and aesthetic, yet collectively expressing the sharp edges and intentional stillness at the core of the band's sound.

These songs are a vivid reflection of theza's wide musical spectrum and raw sensibility.
While drawing influence from alternative rock, post-punk, R&B, and hip-hop, their music is far from derivative. Instead, each track is a reimagining of those inspirations through the unique sensibilities of the members, resulting in a minimalist yet deeply emotional sonic landscape.

This EP marks a threshold between theza's "now" and what lies ahead.
Their music lives in the in-between - between city and countryside, between reality and reverie - resonating within that beautifully ambiguous space.
