Vintage soul pop music band Grenfelle have released their second split single 'Big Plaid' on 3 December 2022, the second day of Record Day, via Miobell Records.
Following on from the previous single, it is an alternative sublimation of the members' influences and backgrounds of indie pop, indie rock, acid jazz, R&B, northern soul and neo-soul, with Tomoko Kunimi on trumpet from the Wack Wack Rhythm Band and Toshiya Mitsuhashi on tenor saxophone from the Wack Wack Rhythm Band, who also participate as guest musicians.
Grenfelle is a four-piece band consisting of vocalist Mineko Fujishima of Swinging Popsicle, who will celebrate her 25th anniversary in 2022, bassist Masanori Shimada of Northern Bright, keyboardist Masashi Yamaguchi of Airbus, and guitarist Keigo Mizutani of Honeydew. Their first single 'Keep It Goin'' was sold in seven countries, including the USA, UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria.
