KOMONO LAKE, a three-piece unit influenced by city pop, Showa-era Japanese popular music and soul/R&B, releases “Silence.” Tokyo-born singer-songwriter Heine, known for his trilingual identity and lyrics for Aile The Shota and iScream, co-wrote the lyrics with member Kanbin. Blending English and Japanese, the song combines the frustration of meetings and farewells with a beautiful melody and shimmering synths that evoke neon-lit streets at night. Its artwork was created with AI tools from a photograph taken by the members. Formed in 2021 by Taiwan-based singer Kanbin, London-born producer SKYTOPIA, also known as a former member of Kero Kero Bonito, and bassist Kuroji, whose support work includes Night Tempo, KOMONO LAKE released its first album “SUNSHOWER” in 2022. Following a January 2023 Taiwan tour and the singles “春砂漠” in April and “One By One” in May, this work reveals a further deepening of its musical expression.
